Overview
I’m an accredited editor with over 25 years' experience in publishing houses in the UK and Australia and in my own freelance editorial business. I am also on the board of Life Stories Australia.
I have edited a number of books published by traditional mainstream publishers, including a best-selling book published by Penguin, and I have assisted many writers to self-publish.
Testimonials:
When deciding on an editor for my book, it was important for me to connect with someone who could see and understand my vision, as well as connecting with my story. Heather was able to do that. I also gained a lot of learning along the way. Heather really opened my eyes and mind up to the craft of writing, and worked with me in a way that I could understand. I am so appreciative for her work and what I’ve learnt.
Darcia Ondrovcik, author and owner, Beauty in Strength
Engaging Heather to edit my manuscript was the smartest, wisest decision I made, as a novice writer. She was a godsend. I know Heather will treasure and shape the words you wish to share with others, while holding you and your story safe.
