Eleanor Boyall

Eleanor Boyall – Editor

Editor specialising in fantasy, romantasy and romance. My NYT-bestselling clients have sold millions of copies.

Overview

Out of office: I've hidden myself from the marketplace so I can focus on finishing current projects, but if I've made you an offer, it remains open!

I’m a freelance editor with almost fifteen years’ experience. Books I’ve edited have hit the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists, been optioned for TV and sold millions of copies. My clients praise my insightful developmental editing, thorough copy/line-editing, and professional proofreading.

I primarily work in romance and fantasy (please send me your romantasy!). Female-led and queer-centric stories are particularly welcome.

Whether you know exactly what your novel needs (but aren’t sure how to do it), or you’re not sure where to start, I can help you deliver the lush fantasy, heart-pounding action, swoony romance and sizzling spice that readers crave. Request a personalised quote today and discover your manuscript’s potential.

Please note I don't use any AI in my work, and I prefer not to work on AI-generated fiction.
