About Me

Kia ora!

While born and raised in Germany, I’ve been living in New Zealand for the last eight years, calling beautiful Wellington my home. 

Apart from the services offered here at Kiwiberry Editing, I’m a professional writer, who has published various novels and short stories in German and English. You can find my stories and more at www.janna-ruth.com. Writing seriously since the age of thirteen (that was 1999) has given me a great feeling for all kinds of fictional texts. I’m a very critical reader that’s hard to impress, but who can precisely pinpoint where the potential went astray.

You’d think with a love of texts and writing I would’ve studied literature or something alike. Alas, I have not. I’ve got half a PhD in geology, which explains my love for and deep knowledge of mapping. I think a combination of science and creativity makes for perfect worldbuilding. So, contact me and let me help you build your perfect book world.
