Overview
Over the last fifteen years, I've worked with writers at all stages of their career and have edited manuscripts, documents and content for organisations and individuals. Whether you're writing your debut novel, memoir, resume or a blog post, I can provide feedback, structural or copy edits, and proofreading services. I have worked on commercial and literary fiction, narrative non-fiction and children's books, and collaborated with genre writers on their romance manuscripts. With a personal interest in romance and romantic comedies, I'm a sucker for a HEA and modern retellings of classic literature. And please don't be shy if you're writing for queer audiences! I love working with writers in my community.
You can expect direct and honest feedback on your work couched in supportive and encouraging suggestions and queries, but as the author you are in control of what feedback you incorporate into your work - always. Get in touch and we can figure out the next steps for your writing together.

Work experience
Self-employed
Hachette Australia
In this role, I continued my copyediting and proofreading work on frontlist and backlist titles with a focus on New Zealand's growing children's book list and Australia's narrative non-fiction list. I was required to complete structural reports, copyedits and proofreads on all my children's books, and continued to copyedit and/or proofread all adult titles on my list.
Hachette Australia
Though this was an assistant role, I was entrusted with book production after just six months. This included copyediting and proofreading pages for frontlist literary fiction, children's picture books and narrative non-fiction, and proofreading backlist titles across the categories.
Escape Publishing
Working with one of Australia's foremost romance publishers, I proofread pages from titles in production and also provided editorial assessments on manuscripts submitted to the slush pile.
