Overview
I specialise in fiction editing, in particular crime, thriller, science fiction, fantasy and YA.
I've worked with publishers in the UK and US offering copyediting and proofreading of fiction books, including Sapere, Saraband, Burning Chair, McNidder & Grace, Austin Macauley and Sandstone Press.
I also work with indie authors offering copyediting, line editing and proofreading as well as manuscript critiques and developmental editing of fiction and short stories.
I love talking to authors about their books and finding out where their inspiration comes from. Editing your book is a very personal process so I always offer a free sample edit to ensure we're a good match. I quote on a bespoke basis, as every individual book is so different.
