Whether you have a rough draft you’re trying to knock into shape, or you’re close to ready and just need some eagle eyes on things like clarity and grammar, I’m your person.
I'm a published author, I’ve been an in-house editor, and I’ve ghostwritten for some very clever people. I’ve also got that master’s degree, so I get genuinely excited about research and citations.
And I’ve been studying storytelling for over two decades, so it’s fair to say I know how to keep a reader’s attention (yes, storytelling works brilliantly for every kind of non-fiction).
I love your book already, because you took the time to write it.
Now, let’s release it into the world with confidence, with none of those mean voices slowing you down.
(Oh, and I’ve worked with editors for my own writing…I know how precious your words are. So, I promise I’ll be nice, always.)
Getting your book reader-ready
Developmental editing and copy editing for non-fiction. Turning your brilliant draft into a fully fledged book.
If you've been burning the midnight oil writing a non-fiction book, you've probably had a visit from one of these mean voices...
What if it’s boring?
What if there are bits that don't make sense but you're too close to spot them?
What if you publish and everyone laughs at you?
What's the difference between a footnote and an endnote??
Yeah. Don't listen to them. They've got nothing useful to say and nothing better to do than roam the midnight hours looking for authors to bully.
Hire me instead.
I’ll make sure your book is clear, engaging, with no flab or fluff, and sounds exactly as you intended.

Developmental Edit
This is for you if:
You’ve got your first draft down. Now you need someone to help you make sure:
The overall structure is tight and follows a logical arc.
The arguments are clear.
Your chapters are well-paced, and they flow beautifully from one to the other.
Your prose is engaging from start to finish. With no fluff, no repetition, and no unrelated tangents.
Whatever your subject matter, we’ll make sure your reader can’t put your book down.

Copy Edit
This is for you if:
You’ve edited your manuscript, and it’s as close to ready as you can get it on your own.
Now you just need a pair of experienced eyes for:
Grammar, syntax, and typos.
Catching the tiny stuff like the bit in Chapter 3 where you called him Jeff, but he’s called Ben everywhere else.
Tightening those overly wordy sentences.
Style, citations, and references.
We’ll polish your manuscript until it’s gleaming.
Much as I prefer to give prices up front, this one’s really hard.
I do need to get a few details about your book before I can give you a proper number.
Get in touch, we’ll have a lovely chat, then I’ll give you a clear cost that you can work with.
e s up front,
