Authors
I believe in a collaborative approach to all my work – the relationship between editor and author should be symbiotic as we work together towards the end goal of achieving a great book.
I pride myself on having an honest and direct approach to authors’ work as I find it has served me well over the twenty-nine-plus years I've been in the industry. You can expect me to deliver a detailed opinion on the commercial and creative strengths of your work, clear and concise ideas on how to improve it, and sound editorial notes on how to carry your text through to a publishable/queryable state. I can also help you with your query/submission package and self-publishing your work.

Editorial Assessment (detailed read, mark-up, report, Zoom call)
Development Editing (as above, but on an ongoing basis)
Copy-editing (includes line-editing)

Self-publishing package (formatting, proofreading, file creation, advice)
