About -

Hello, I am Silvia.

I go online by Via S. Hellenick as it is my chosen pen name. I am a fiction writer who is obsessed with anything related to storytelling, I’ve been reading and loving stories for as long as I can remember, and I decided to turn my obsession into a job!

I went through training as a Developmental Editor throug the EFA (Editorial Freelancers Association) and I am now scavangering the world for manuscripts I can help bring to life. As a writer myself, I know how lonely this beautiful craft can get, and how scary it can be to take the leap and follow this beautiful dream, but also how important our stories are to us, and how much a writer can get attached to them and the characters.

So, do not fret! I am not here to tell you to change everything and what you are doing “wrong”.

It’s your story, you can’t go wrong with it.

For years upon years I chose to put writing to the side, convinced that it wasn’t for me, that my stories were not good enough to be told, and that I was not capable to tell them.

Well, after a good while of battling with myself, I caved, and I started writing again, but this time with a twist. I chose to attempt writing in English, which is not my first languange, because if I can write a disseration in it, than maybe i can write a novel too!

When I am not lost somewhere fictional, you can find me in the kitchen, baking mostly bread and pizza, or hiding to paint in my little craft room with my cat.

I am in love with cappuccinos, terrified of lizards, and really scared of death, even though I end up writing a lot about it (death, not lizards).
