Overview
"The kind of editor who can make an author love the editing process." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I'll help you strengthen your narrative voice, polish your craft, and deliver a book that's true to your vision.
I'm open, collaborative and flexible, and I've worked across multiple genres in both trad and indie publishing.
I'm tight on story and structural work, but also a meticulous copy-editor.
If you don't have a finished manuscript, I can still help. I love to coach aspiring authors, levelling up their technique and confidence as they tackle the first draft.

ABOUT ME
As a journalist, I've worked with major titles such as Vogue, GQ, Wired and Total Film, and I've written for many high-profile publications including The Guardian and The Sunday Times.
I've written thousands of published words – short and long-form features, coverlines, headlines, reviews, interviews, marketing copy – and rewritten, restructured and recommissioned thousands more.
So far, I've written twelve books - ten fiction, two non-fiction,
I hate picnics.
