Overview
I'm an Editorial Consultant and former Literary Agent, with extensive editorial experience working for two large trade publishers, and with the public.
As an agent I represented 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 well over a decade, 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 that 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!
