Overview
*NOW BOOKING FOR JULY, AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER*
Looking for an editor with the industry-experience, insight and empathy to make your book the very best that it can be?
If so, you’re in the right place.
I’m both an editor (with skills honed at the major literary agency Curtis Brown UK), and a critically-acclaimed novelist (with an extensive creative-writing teaching portfolio to boot). In the last decade, I've been on ‘both sides of the fence’ and now I love nothing more than to use this unique perspective to help writers achieve their dreams, whether that's agent representation or seeing the project they've dedicated years to on shelves around the world.
I specialise in commercial and book-club fiction (romance, women’s fiction, crime/thriller, contemporary, historical) and I’m available for:
- Editorial Assessments
- Developmental Editing
- Line-Editing
- Query-Package Assistance
- Book Coaching
I describe my approach as perceptive, detail-orientated and solution-focussed, marrying professionalism with a deeply personable approach. I pride myself on working with - not against - the author's voice and offer a sixty-minute video debrief to ensure writers have a clear roadmap forwards.
Please be in touch with any and all questions you have; I'm happy to work at all stages of the process and also offer a free fifteen minute call during quotation so you can see whether you feel we would be a good match.
I look forward to hearing from you and very much hope to collaborate soon!
