Overview
With over 25 years of experience in the publishing industry, I have a huge amount of 'insider knowledge' that can help you to navigate waters that can be filled with sharks. I can help you to develop your own strong voice, whether for fiction or non-fiction, and can take a deep-dive into developmental edits, giving you the confidence to shape your book or writing project into its 'best self', ready to be sent out into the world to look for a home.
Fiction:
My expertise is in writing for children - everything from picture books and early readers to YA.
Non-fiction:
If you are writing a craft book, a self-help guide or the book that will position you as an expert in your field and help you to build your career, I can support you with mentoring and editing at every step of the way from concept through to finished manuscript.
