Let’s get those words out of your head and into the world
Manuscript developmental and copy editing for fiction and non-fiction.
If you've been burning the midnight oil writing a 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.
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.
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 non-fiction too).
And I love your book already, because you took the time to write it.
Now, let’s release it into the world in the best possible shape, without those mean voices slowing you down.
(Oh, and I’ve worked with editors for my own writing. I know what it feels like to have someone else raking over your words. So, I promise I’ll always be nice, but I’ll also be honest.)
12-Month Manuscript Developmental Programme
This is for you if:
You’re working on your first draft, whether you’re right at the beginning, nearing the end or in the messy middle.
And you need some help making sure:
The overall structure is tight and follows a logical arc.
Your chapters are well-paced, and they flow naturally from one to the other.
Your prose is clear and engaging from start to finish. With no fluff, no repetition, and no unrelated tangents.
Your characters feel authentic, and your world is fully built.
Your arguments are clear if your book is non-fiction.
We’ll start with the vision you have for your book and end with the different routes for publication.
Let’s make your book unputdownable.

Copy Edit
This is for you if:
You’ve finished your manuscript, you’ve edited it to death, 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 Ben everywhere else.
Tightening those overly wordy sentences.
Style, citations, and references for non-fiction.
I’ll need some details about your book before I can give you a cost for copy-editing.
Get in touch for a no-obligation chat, and we’ll take it from there.
I’d love to hear about your book.
