About Me


Hello! My name is Ellie Blackwood. I'm a writer, book blogger, freelance editor, and word nerd with over five years of editing and formatting experience. I wrote my first story when I was three years old, but it took another few years for me to realize that I love editing words just as much as I love writing them.

​When I'm not dabbling in books, I love to swim, drink tea, and play with my adorable English Toy Terriers. Incidentally, I formatted the Kindle edition of the definitive guide to their breed.

My favorite word is "hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia," because it means a fear of long words and I find that very funny.

About Fireproof Editing

​​I started Fireproof Editing because I'm passionate about making words the best they can be.

As an avid reader myself, I know that people want great books -- and collaboration is a crucial part of great writing. I can't tell you how many times I've read a self-published novel that had a fantastic story, but I just wished it had been edited better. I can't tell you how many times I've read an awesome book that still made my eyes hurt because of atrocious interior formatting. It's amazing how a professional polish can drastically improve the quality of your work.

Good writing can become great writing just by tweaking things at a sentence level.
A good story can become a great story thanks to a developmental edit.
A good book can become a great book once it's formatted into a beautiful ebook or paperback.

​The mission of Fireproof Editing is to make sure that your work is great, whether you're seeking an agent or setting out on your own as an indie.
