Steve Watson – Editor

I’m a bestselling novelist with a background in clinical science. I work with writers who suspect their book should be working — but isn’t.

The problem is rarely prose. Almost always, it’s structure: the emotional logic beneath the plot. I specialise in diagnosing those underlying faults and helping authors reshape manuscripts so tension, character, and meaning finally align.

I’m drawn to complex projects — fractured timelines, unreliable narrators, moral ambiguity — stories where something essential is misfiring beneath the surface.

I work selectively and at depth. I don’t offer reassurance. I offer clarity. If that’s what you’re looking for, we may be a good fit.
