Overview
I love seeing the traditionally published books I've edited on bookshop shelves, and I also work with authors on the cusp of publishing which is always exciting. Approaching a professional editor can be daunting, I know. Don't worry: I will help you decide what kind of edit your manuscript needs, and I'll hold your hand throughout the editing process. Remember, I'm a published author myself, so I understand how you feel about your project.
I will keep in regular contact with you, and I will meet our mutually agreed deadlines.
I charge by the word. You control your word count, so you control my fee.
I will work with you to make your manuscript shine. Let's get started...
