I was the editor of the novella Eggshell, and worked closely with the author, publisher and proofreader to help bring the book to life. Eggshell is a coming-of-age story about identity, racism and adolescence.

Testimonial from the author Olivia De Zilva:

'Zara was a pleasure to work with. In many ways, she was the bowerbird to my work, finding new things in the story that saw it grow into something quite special. Her insights, dedication, and sharp editing style were something that elevated my manuscript and allowed me to think deeply about the story. I loved working with Zara and hope to again in the future. I can see demand grow for her exponentially in the future.'
