Hi, I'm September Herrin.

​I am a writer, editor, and community builder. Pairing my editorial expertise with my professional background in creative startups, I bring innovative solutions to writers, editors, businesses, and job seekers.​​

As a freelance editor, I primarily work with indie authors, small presses, and professionals who write. I also offer editing services for corporate communications, resumes & cover letters, and query letters.​​​

As founder and editor-in-chief at Weird Lit Magazine, I am honored to curate the best in short, weird fiction from across the globe. A graduate of the Certificate in Editing program at the University of Washington and former board member of the Editorial Freelancers Association, I am driven and passionate about furthering education and serving the publishing community at large.​

My fiction is forthcoming or has appeared in The Berlin Literary Review, The Stray Branch, Crow & Cross Keys, and elsewhere. I am currently working on a surrealist novel and will serve as Writer in Residence at Arteles Creative Center in Haukijärvi, Finland for the month of September 2025.
