robert twigger – Editor

I am a writing coach as much as I am a editor- and both stem from being a writer. I can see the book from both perspectives and that gives me an edge in helping people find their own voice and their own way of telling their story.

What do I do? I listen- I listen to what you want to do and help you try and achieve it. The answer is already there- it just needs a good sounding board to help bring it out.

I love books that want to help people or say something about life- memoirs are an especial interest.

I read, coached and structurally edited the first draft of Shaun Bythell's Sunday Times bestselling memoir Diary of a Bookseller.

I have written and edited full length books of memoir, fiction, history, self-help and travel. I have won the Somerset Maugham award and the William Hill Sportsbook of the Year award as well as the Newdigate prize for poetry. I have edited my own books alongside top editors from Penguin, Orion and Picador books. I have worked with several literary agents both in the UK and USA and I have taught creative writing at Moniack Mhor in Scotand.
