Andrew Lowe – Editor

Friendly, precise editor and writing coach. Lots of experience with various genres. I'm an author, too. So I know what it's like.

Overview


"The kind of editor who can make an author love the editing process." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Chele Cooke, Author

---

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.

Andrew **is** a master class in writing. I received a great deal of very practical and hands-on feedback to begin revising my draft and improving my craft, altogether. Andrew is easy to work with and if you're open to honest, professional, and proven experience - he will elevate your understanding of what it means to write a novel. As a first time scifi writer, I had a lot of ideas squashed int...

This was a wonderful experience for me, and I feel like I have grown as a writer because of it. Andrew gave me a long set of very thorough and generous notes, and we had a two-hour Zoom conference. Mostly we discussed the shape of the story, which characters to emphasize, which to cut. Andrew was also very generous in his advice about the publishing industry. There is no way I could quantify th...

Andrew 'got' me straight away and he knew the reason I'd given up after 35k words. Our sessions were to instill that 'framework' to make a great story that a reader wants to hear about. I wouldn't say I've written 35k rambling tangents but not far off :) Thanks Andrew, really enjoyed working with you and I am very clear about what I need to do now.

I really enjoyed working with Andrew. His feedback was specific, well-structured and actionable. He took care to highlight areas of the novel that worked well and others that could be improved. His suggestions have given me the confidence to restructure my novel and I'm excited to work on a redraft. I would definitely work with Andrew again.
