Overview
When working with me you can expect to have editorial input and support through every step of your writing journey. As an experienced commissioner I work closely with authors to generate ideas, formulate proposals and to shape the content of their books.
I provide structural editing as well as guidance on writing style, suggestions for content, and also work right through to supporting post-publication with ideas for marketing and metadata. I really like to get to know my authors to understand the story they wish to tell, their vision for their work and how I can best help them reach their goals.
