Hire a book editor - and take your story to the next level
Writers make the best editors because we understand the process - and the people. I offer a variety of editing services to fit every writer, so whether you have completed the first draft of your manuscript, or are struggling to finish a particularly difficult chapter, I can help.
Editing your book
I understand that your book is a labour of love, so I take its completion as personally as you do. I will include you in the process, highlighting and explaining my editorial decisions, sharing my feedback with delicacy and compassion, and taking the time to make sure you agree with my advice.
You have invested countless hours and a great deal of passion, dedication, and creativity into writing your manuscript. I see it as my job to make certain it does not fall at the last hurdle. I will set my decades of editing expertise to the task of making your book the best that it can be.
I turn good books into great ones
Choose a one-off editing service from the list below, or ask me to design you a personalised package of ongoing support. If you are uncertain what type of editing help you need, that is fine too. I will happily take a look at your manuscript and recommend the best approach.
