Take your manuscript to the next level
Friendly, professional support for every stage of your writing journey
Like all the creative arts, writing can be deeply fulfilling, and also incredibly frustrating.
One minute you’re soaring high on the wings of inspiration, the next you’re plunged into a pit of dread and self-doubt as you question every word you’ve ever committed to the page. And seeking professional feedback on your work, while incredibly valuable, can be a potentially daunting prospect.
That’s how I can help. As a CIEP-trained copyeditor and an experienced teacher, I can provide you with the kind of feedback that is both incisive and encouraging.
By working with me, you will gain:
a better appreciation of the strengths of your manuscript
an understanding of how and where you could improve it further
a clear plan for your next steps in the editing process
greater confidence in your own writing and in the story you want to tell.
A friendly face. A helpful edit.

Support for every stage of the process
Developing your manuscript
Choose from a range of services to help you take your novel from initial plan to final draft, from feedback on your outline and character arcs to a detailed review of your completed manuscript. Or perhaps you’re simply feeling a little unsure about where to start with your line edits? Book a ‘snapshot copyedit’ to highlight specific areas for you to focus on.
Refining your agent queries
Getting a literary agent is a notoriously competitive process and a second pair of eyes on your submission package is invaluable in helping you stand out from the crowd. Book a content review, copyedit or proofread of your query letter, synopsis and opening chapters to ensure that the work you send out is going to tick all the ‘agent boxes’.
Polishing your final draft
If you’re building your career as a self-published author, getting a professional copyedit or proofread of your manuscript is an essential step in producing a high-quality end product. I offer both services, as well as a more economical option for those who would simply like a knowledgeable professional to read their work for the most obvious errors.
Bespoke packages
Every manuscript is different, every writer unique. If you’d like something more specifically tailored to your needs, such as a copyedit or manuscript review with a narrower focus, do get in touch with me to discuss it further and get a quote.
