Why work with Alí Ortíz?

I have over 15 years of experience as a writer. In that time, I have published more than 1.5 million words online and offered feedback to hundreds of other writers. My editorial work spans fiction, nonfiction, and personal essays. I am most passionate about speculative fiction, LGBTQ+ representation, and religious philosophy, but dark fantasy holds a special place in my heart.

Testimonial:

“Alí was fantastic to work with. As an academic working in queer and trans studies, I often struggle to find editors whose attention to linguistic detail matches their queer/trans cultural competence. Alí was incredible in both domains, helping me to ensure that my book manuscript was error-free as well as accessible to a public audience. I can’t recommend them enough!”

—Harper B. Keenan, PhD


Alí Ortíz is an adventurer at heart, whether through the ancient worlds of old texts or the world travel experiences they pursue roughly each year. Academic inquiry guides their excursions among the constellations of neuropsychology, social justice, and the humanities.

I hope you will consider me an asset in your pursuit of personal truth, social authenticity, and academic integrity. I’m eager to hear your story!
