Editing Services
Everybody has a book in them but are you struggling to bring yours out? As writers, it can be hard to be objective about our own work; even the most seasoned of writers will have engaged a team of professionals to polish their prose and make their story sparkle before it’s published.
Whether you’re looking for a ‘second pair of eyes’ to proof read your work or a more detailed analysis of your plot and writing skills, I can help. As an award-winning author and journalist, I’ve fallen down my fair share of plot holes and have developed the tools to help you fix them. My specialities are crime and thriller but I treat every manuscript with care and respect. I look forward to working with you to make your work the best it can be.
What I offer
Proof reading
Assistance with synopses and query letters

What I provide
I will go through the work you send (I ask that you double space your submission), offering editorial notes on the text itself, as well as providing a detailed editorial summary, with suggestions on improvement, playing close attention to tension, characterisation and story.
