I'm Rowan Noir, a developmental and character-focused editor specializing in emotionally resonant fiction with psychologically rich characters. I work exclusively under my pen name to maintain creative freedom and protect the confidentiality of true experiences that often inform the work I do with writers.

​

Before editing, I spent over 20 years as a doctorly prepared psychiatric clinician. That clinical lens—rooted in trauma, identity, and human behavior—is now the secret weapon I bring to your manuscript. I help authors craft unforgettable characters, believable emotional arcs, and storylines that resonate with readers on a gut level.
