Overview
Looking for an editor who's a collaborator and not a dictator? Who's creative, able to think on their feet and adapt to your book? Look no further! Working alongside authors, I empower them to transform their manuscripts into polished works that captivate readers and stand out for their chosen audience. I offer a friendly and professional service that's respectful of the author's intentions and tailored to fit the requirements of each individual job.
With over 30 years of experience, I bring expertise, constructive feedback and a collaborative approach to every book-editing and coaching project, coupled with a good sense of humour. I know all of the problem areas and can help you fix them. So, whether you’re writing fiction or non-fiction, I can support you as you turn your great idea into a well-written, flowing narrative that will hook readers from the start and hold their attention until the end.
I edit most fiction genres (including those listed below), narrative non-fiction (i.e. memoir) and a wide range of general non-fiction.
