I specialise in editing romance, crime and literary fiction, helping authors to create books that readers will love.If you aren't sure what to expect from the editing process, let me put your mind at rest. Many of my clients felt exactly the same but I'll be with you every step of the way, providing positive and constructive feedback. I believe in editing with empathy and working together. It's my job to bring out the best in your writing so that your manuscript flows smoothly, allowing you to concentrate on producing great stories.I offer manuscript assessments, line editing, copy editing and proofreading for authors, helping you to make your manuscript ready for self-publishing or sending to an agent.I've worked in publishing for over ten years and during that time have worked with many independent authors.
