Services

I work with in-house commissioning editors and authors to help shape a book from the ideas stage right through to a finished manuscript. I am a creative and sensitive editor, and support new or established authors to get their message across while ensuring the book has strong commercial appeal.

Meticulous and with a real eye for detail, I carry out in-depth developmental edits or more straightforward copy edits, depending on what is required. I edit on screen and can liaise directly with the author(s) over queries and structural changes. I am also happy to project manage and support publishers from manuscript delivery through to final PDF, booking in additional freelancers as required.

(I no longer carry out proofreads, but please contact me if you have a particular project you need specific support with.)

I work with literary agents, in-house commissioners and authors to formulate and write winning book proposals.

If you’re looking for an expert overview of your proposal or manuscript, I offer a one-off reader’s report identifying strengths and weaknesses, or I can work with you to hone your ideas and structure a winning proposal and/or sample text. I also offer advice on submitting your work to commissioning editors/literary agents.

Please note that my slots for one-to-one work with independent authors are now fully booked for 2026.
