Good evening! I’m Cara Trent, a book editor in Indiana. I'm the founder of Midnight Quill Story Development Services and the grown-up version of the kid who got in trouble for reading in math class. 

​

Stories have been a cornerstone in my life since before I can remember. I wrote stories in elementary school, started my first novel in middle school, and spent lunches and study halls in the library during high school. I went to college in Bloomington intending to move to New York City to work in publishing after graduation, but ended up staying in Bloomington to work retail and admin jobs as I dealt with a bout of depression.  

​

After living in Bloomington for a few years, I came home to Fort Wayne to pursue my dream again. A chance encounter at the local library eventually brought me into a tight-knit group of ambitious, talented writers who share their works in progress and push each other to be their best. They changed my life. With their support and encouragement, I've sharpened my editing skills and learned to give helpful feedback in practical, actionable ways. 

​

In my spare time, I design social media content for NJ Productions, read, edit, and write for a local writer’s group, cook, and devour stories (books, movies, video games, TV, all of it!).
