Kal Morgan (he/they) is a writer of queer fantasy and an editor. When not writing, he loves to play video games with his friends, make obnoxiously long writing playlists, wrangle his cats, and play TTRPGs.

Editing
Kal holds a bachelor's degree in English, specializing in editing, writing, and publishing, complemented by a minor in professional writing.
He has a combined 7 years of experience in small press publishing, technical editing, beta reading, and multi-genre fiction editing, and has edited over 30 projects by both published and unpublished authors.

Testimonials
"Kal was a delight to work with. Friendly, professional, and good communication. Their developmental edits were a good mix between praise and critique. They saw the vision of my book from the beginning and were able to pinpoint key areas that needed improvement and provide insight into areas I was struggling with. They definitely saved my writing on a grammatical level as well. Very high quality work and I look forward to working with them again!"
— Briar Belmont
