Hanna Elizabeth – Editor

Experienced Copy Editor specializing in Crime Thrillers and Sci-Fi, with several clients on the Amazon UK Top Ten Most Read Authors on KU

Overview

I’ve been a freelance editor for over a decade, and have had the privilege to work with many award-winning and bestselling authors, some of whom have signed publishing deals with the likes of Simon & Schuster, Canelo, Audible Originals, and Bookouture, a division of Hachette UK, and have had their books optioned for the big and small screens.


Think of me as the Mary Poppins of punctuation or the Sherlock Holmes of sentence structure. Whether it’s smoothing out awkward phrases, spotting typos hiding in plain sight, or untangling twisted metaphors, I’ve got you covered. I’m here to make sure your writing not only says what you mean but does it with flair—without any of those rogue commas or runaway semicolons.


So, let’s polish your prose together. After all, even superheroes need a good sidekick.


“Hanna has edited over thirty books for me, across two different pen names, and I'd be lost without her. She is like a lighthouse, guiding my rough drafts through to being finished books. But a lighthouse that can also identify typos and grammar issues. If you can imagine such a thing.” Barry J Hutchison, Space Team series; aka: JD Kirk, DCI Logan Crime Thrillers, Zertex Publishing


“Working with Hanna has been a pleasure. She has shown professionalism, attention to detail, and respect for my voice and style. I’m happy to recommend her.” Rachel McLean, Ackroyd Publishing


“Hanna has been an invaluable asset to my writing process. Her keen eye for detail, combined with her ability to enhance both the structure and style of my work, has taken my manuscripts to the next level. She consistently offers insightful feedback, always striking the perfect balance between constructive critique and encouragement. Hanna is a true professional—responsive, reliable, and deeply passionate about her craft. I can’t recommend her enough.” - Nick Cook, Cloud Riders and Inflection Point series; aka: JR Sinclair, DI Stone Crime Thrillers
