Overview
I have been a full time writer for over thirty years, specifically LGBTQ and heterosexual paranormal and contemporary romances. My experience of editing over 50 titles for a US based company allowed me to develop a range of talents and a proven record of number 1 bestsellers. My adaptability for a number of genres will give any established or potential writer the confidence that I will help polish their writing style and manuscript, and will help produce a book they will be proud of. I am happy to offer a quick 1000 word assessment of your writing with a view to taking on the full manuscript.
