Our Work

About Us

Person standing on a balcony looking at cityscape with old buildings and cloudy sky.

Hi! I’m Robin. Golden Starling rose out of my 10-year freelance editing career and successful self-publishing work.

We’re a small team specializing in editing, formatting, and publishing services for independent authors of nonfiction, fiction, memoir, and more.

We count ourselves lucky to be headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, where high quality, good design, and great coffee are a part of everyday life.
