If you feel stuck in your writing, need a writing partner to help you brainstorm or hold you accountable, or want a professional and competent editor to review your draft, I'm here to help!

I have a decade of experience in content writing and editing. My previous roles included Editor and Author Coach for a hybrid publisher and Content Producer in the media and publishing industry. I now help authors outline, create, and revise the content of their manuscripts. I work predominantly with fiction but have expertise in nonfiction (self-help and how-to) and memoirs.

As a book coach and editor, I offer various monthly coaching packages where I take you through the process of writing and editing, including:

- Story Foundations (a 6-week coaching program with templates and calls)

- Writing the first draft (coaching)

- Revising the draft (editorial assessment, dev editing, and coaching)

I’m your cheerleader, highlighting what you do well and pointing out areas of concern, indicating why and how. My goal is to elevate your story and your storytelling skills.

As a creative person and fiction writer, I can brainstorm ideas and offer imaginative suggestions to plot holes, helping you overcome writer’s block at every stage of content development. I’m great with character development, plot development, narrative structure, and show & tell, amongst other things. I’m here to help and support you in your writing journey, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you get stuck.

Originally from the French Alps, I have lived in the UK for over 10 years and also graduated with my master's degree from New Zealand. I work with writers from all over the world and am currently based in London, UK

I look forward to meeting you and helping you with your project!

Sarah gave me a well-rounded list that covered character development, relationship development, setting and plot–each in an in-depth and thorough manner. It was clear she had a solid understanding of my novel along with a real sense of my vision for it. ” - Elizabeth T., YA Fantasy Author
