Overview
NOW TAKING BOOKINGS FOR FEBRUARY.
I'm an Editorial Consultant and Literary Agent, with extensive editorial experience working for two large trade publishers, two literary agencies and with the public.
As an agent I represent a roster of authors writing literary and commercial fiction, including critical and commercial bestsellers. As an in-house editor, I edited books across all fiction genres including upmarket book club fiction, women's fiction, crime and thrillers, historical fiction, fantasy, science fiction and horror.
Having worked with authors for almost fifteen years, at every stage of the writing process, I understand that writing a book is a daunting process - and seeking feedback on your book can be even more so!
But I also understand how invaluable good constructive feedback can be. It can make the difference between submitting or publishing a good book, and submitting or publishing an excellent one.
I can provide the type of honest, yet motivating feedback you are looking for.
I love working with authors to help make their book as good as it can be and I'd love to hear from you!
