Suzy Pope – Editor

After graduating with a Masters in Creative Writing, I spent 10 years as a freelance writer and editor between shifts as a librarian. I’ve worked as a magazine editor (food & drink), travel writer, restaurant reviewer and ghost writer, but my passion lies in tinkering with a manuscript until it’s reached its full potential.

Sure, I can spot a typo and can tweak a sentence until it sings. But I really love tying up intricate plot points, tightening up dialogue and shifting scenes around until the structure of a novel flows. I’ve provided developmental and copy edits for several successful books, including the Rosie Life in Italy travel memoir series by Rosie Meleady, the Aoife Walsh crime thriller series by Val Collins and The Deadly Wedding Cozy Mystery series.

The Creative Writing Masters at Edinburgh University taught me the ins and outs of plot, pace and structure and I love to share this with aspiring and established authors through my developmental edits.
