Olivia J. Bennett
author of fantasy, contemporary, and horror | freelance fiction editor
Hey, I'm Olivia J. Bennett, an award-winning author and freelance editor. I primarily write genre-bending contemporary, fantasy, and horror fiction as well as creative nonfiction. My writing has recently appeared in Outrageous Fortune, The Wandering Angel, FLARE Magazine, Frazzled Lit, and more. My most recent work is Casually Homicidal, a YA road trip thriller, perfect for fans of Netflix's The End of the F***ing World and John Green's Paper Towns. When not creating, I'm usually baking cookies, binge-watching TV with my partner, or cuddling my two cats. I can be found somewhere between the corn and the big blue sky of Illinois.
About Me
a road trip sundae
with existential-crisis whipped cream
and a cherry of murder on top
Hendrix Williams is an aspiring serial killer; Michelle "Arden" Campbell is neck-deep in existential angst. When they both graduate high school and leave their small town behind, Arden is just looking for someone who might finally understand her—but Hendrix is looking for his first human victim.
I offer comprehensive editorial services, from copy, line, and developmental editing to book coaching. As an award-winning author with a professional educator license in English, I have extensive knowledge of not only literary technique but evidence-based methods to help every writer be their best!
As an intern with SnowRidge Press, I learned the ropes in the publishing industry while growing my freelance clientele. I currently work with small- and mid-sized publishers like Podium Entertainment, Page & Vine, Wildling Press, and Vine Leaves Press as a freelance copyeditor, but I'm always looking for more indie authors to collaborate with!
