Check out my blog The AuthorShip where I post about the craft of fiction writing, my process, and try out writing advice from sources across the internet... and beyond!
Pirate by day, writer by night…
Hi there! I’m Cameron Montague Taylor, a fantasy author and developmental editor of fiction. Check out the editorial services I offer or take a look at my writing: novels, novellas, and epics set in far-flung worlds with queer heroes and thick romantic threads.
Outside the writing world, I’m a sailor and scuba diver by trade. Those experiences inspired and shaped the Oceana Series: a dark nautical fantasy epic posting in installments on Patreon.
When I don’t have a pen in hand, you can find me on the water, underwater, or chasing my cat away from my houseplants.
