Lynne Walker – Editor

As a highly experienced freelance proofreader and copyeditor, I work with top UK publishers including Ebury, Hodder, Pan Macmillan, Avon, HarperCollins, Bookouture, Hera, and BiteBack. I'm also a proud member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP) and comfortable working in both UK and US English.

I specialise in thrillers—psychological, domestic, crime, legal, and action—but I also work on a wide range of fiction and non-fiction. My edits aim to enhance readability and flow while preserving the author's voice and intent.

Working line by line, I will:

Improve clarity, rhythm, and word choice

Flag character inconsistencies or plot holes

Catch continuity slips and timeline issues

Smooth pacing and sentence structure

Ensure consistency with spelling, punctuation, and style

Whether you’re self-publishing or preparing for submission to agents or publishers, I’ll help bring your manuscript up to a professional, publishable standard—without losing what makes your writing yours.

Take a look at my project list and author reviews to get a feel for the quality and care I bring to every edit.

I’m friendly, meticulous, and genuinely love working with writers—if you think I could help, please get in touch.
