Overview
Hello!
I know you're searching for a meticulous editor to help you transform your manuscript into a story. Look no further, I'm here to help!
I am a creative editor (and bestselling writer!) with 8 years of experience helping publishers and independent authors achieve their publishing dreams. I work with some of the world's biggest publishing houses to craft captivating stories for beloved brands, like Minecraft and Rupert Bear. I've worked with some pretty famous icons too, like Dennis the Menace and Captain Haddock.
I specialize in children’s picture books, early readers, and chapter books, but I also accept adult books in select areas of interest. Before becoming a book editor, I was a children’s kayaking instructor, giving me a unique insight into making fun and engaging content for young readers.
Finding a personality fit is crucial to all editor-author relationships. That's why I invite all prospective clients to meet me for a FREE 15-minute discovery call. Let’s connect and see if we’re a good match.
