Colleen Riordan is a developmental editor, book marketing consultant, and co-creator of Wild Ink Pages, an author website platform specifically tailored to the needs of busy creatives.

As a developmental editor, Colleen works with writers to strengthen the structure, pacing, and characterization of their adult, young adult, and middle grade books. Some of the projects she has worked on include Jennifer Herrera’s The Hunter (G.P. Putnam’s Sons, 2023) and The Siren (2024).

With over a decade of marketing experience, Colleen coaches authors on how to use their creativity and passion to market their books.
