Overview

GENRE SPECIALISTI'm a specialist fiction proofreader who is passionate about helping first-time and experienced independent authors craft high-quality stories. I specialise in speculative fiction (fantasy and sci-fi) and literary fiction. REASSURANCEYour book is likely your emotional asset and deserves the most competent individual to work on it. I write fiction too. I understand the writing process and the emotional and creative investment involved. I’m a fully trained proofreader and a Member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading. With a background in storytelling across different mediums, I’ve helped clients craft stories that meet their audience’s expectations.WELCOMING ALL AUTHORSI welcome working with first-time and experienced writers. I’m here to help you polish the best version of your book for publishing. Not to arrest a book's authenticity and curtail the spirit of an author, but to get to know you and your book. KINDRED SPIRITI’m here to build candid relations with authors, so if we aren’t a perfect fit—perhaps your book isn’t ready for proofreading yet—I'll let you know and be honest about how I can help. Authenticity, rigorous skills and an advocate of independent authorship and creativity are the foundations of my philosophy. I'll gently polish your novel to excellence, examining each word and sentence, combing through your narrative and dialogue, attending to clarity, consistency, and understanding, so it’s ready to be read by your readers.
