Meet Ashley

Owner, Chief Editor

Ashley is the owner and chief editor of Status Quill, a company she founded in 2015. In her early years editing with North Star Publications, Ashley discovered that her passion for editing often led her down paths of dystopic, fantastical and scientific nature. Her degree in English from the University of Central Missouri, along with years of experience in both editing and publishing, has given her a distinct advantage in the editing and publishing world. Ashley is a native of rural Missouri, and she now lives with her husband and children in suburban Colorado. When she's not working, Ashley watches Korean dramas, and sings all the English words in her favorite K-pop songs.

Meet Sabra

Editorial Intern

Sabra loves a good fantasy, romance, or adventure book and shamelessly frequents Wattpad. Her Psychology undergrad work and volunteer work with animal therapy guides her gentle and encouraging editing style. When her nose is not stuck in a book, it's sniffing her latest baking creation or nuzzled into her puppy's fluffy fur.
