Overview
My editorial style is backed by 7 years' experience in publishing, commissioning crime and thriller. As a freelance editor, my publishing clients include Harper Collins, Embla, Hodder & Stoughton, Canelo and Joffe Books.
I specialise in developmental editing and use my years of publishing digital and print bestsellers to help you realise your vision. Authors I have worked with have gone on to become Amazon bestsellers, been shortlisted for major prizes and had their lives transformed by their writing careers. My services cover the whole lifecycle of a book – whether you've just found the spark of an idea, want a detailed developmental edit to strengthen the foundations of your novel, or if you want a copyedit before you hit publish to ensure the book is polished.
Writing can be an emotional process and whatever path you want your publishing journey to take, I’m here to guide you through the editing process with encouragement, sensitivity and care.
