Joshua was the editor and writing assistant on Echoes in the Current, a novel that debuted in 2025. Told through fractured timelines, unsanctioned controller logs, and moments of quiet unraveling; it is a meditation on memory, agency, and the fragile brilliance of being human. It is a story not of heroes, but of hesitations and the pauses that shape the future.
Joshua is selective in the manuscripts he takes on, preferring authors who are open to a genuine collaborative partnership. He makes a deep, personal investment in each project, balancing the precision of a editor with the encouragement and coaching of a writing assistant. For him, editing is not transactional but a shared creative process. One that respects the authors vision and voice, builds trust, and aims to elevate both the work and the writer.
Currently, Joshua is authoring his own piece, a short post-climate collapse science fiction short story. Scheduled for publishing in 2025.
