About Me
For as long as I can remember, I have always been captivated by the power of the written word. As a child, I always had my nose in a book, and very little has changed except I'm usually editing them these days. With over 20 years' experience in content writing and editing, I am here to help you turn your drafts into masterpieces. Let me help you breathe life into your stories.
I offer line editing, copy editing, and proofreading of fiction. I specialise in editing novels and short stories of any length and any genre. No topic is off limits, so whether it's a cosy mystery, steamy romance, psychological thriller, or horror story, I can't wait to dive into it.
I have an English degree and a master's degree in fiction writing. I obtained editing and proofreading certification with the Publishing Training Centre (PTC) and Chartered Institute of Editors and Proofreaders (CIEP) respectively.
Why Choose Me?
I'm a writer too, so I understand the fear of putting your work out there in the public domain, and I appreciate the concern that it might be returned to you in an unrecognisable state.
Don't panic! In the words of Arthur Quiller-Couch — who? — and various better-known sources, my job is not to 'kill your darlings'. Any editor worth their salt will tell you that our job is to polish your work to make it as good as it can be while retaining your authorial voice. In other words, I know when to leave good enough alone. I want your words to shine.
I believe in collaborating closely with authors throughout the editing process to avoid misinterpretation, and to ensure we are both (pardon the pun) on the same page.
It's such an enjoyable process and I can't wait to work with you!
