Molly Rookwood (she/her) is a King’s graduate, a freelance editor, the assistant manager at the King’s Co-op Bookstore, and the Foundation Year Program writing coach. After graduating from King’s in 2018, Molly studied publishing at Toronto Metropolitan University. She founded her freelance editing company, Rookwood Editing, in 2020, and she has worked with dozens of writers since then. Molly has also presented for numerous conferences and writing groups. Her favourite topics for presentations are self-editing tools for writers and antisemitism in fiction and fantasy.
As the FYP writing coach, Molly works with the King’s first-year students to take what they already know about writing essays and evolve that knowledge to a university level. Through a combination of one-on-one workshop sessions in her office hours and presentations about writing and research, Molly helps FYP students build an essay-writing foundation that they will be able to carry with them as they move through FYP and onward into the rest of their university degrees.
When she isn’t hosting office hours in the library, working in the bookstore, or editing for her freelance clients, Molly works on her own writing projects, plays D&D, and hangs out with her pet cat. Her favourite book is Pride and Prejudice, and she will happily talk about writing, editing or reading with anyone who asks.
