My Services

I offer a wide-range of services designed to meet your needs at every stage of the writing process. Each service can be customised based on your individual requirements. Need a faster turnaround? More comfortable with email than zoom? Prefer critique to be delivered with a healthy serve of encouragement? I’m on it.

If you’re not sure which service would suit you, or if you would like to know more, don’t hesitate to get in touch!

  • Your first draft is complete and you’ve made your own revisions - it’s time to begin the developmental edit. A developmental edit involves an in-depth review of your manuscript. I provide constructive feedback and guidance on the structure, pacing, writing style, themes, characterisation, or argument (where relevant). Together, we will shape your first draft into the final draft - ready for proofreading and onto publishing!

    This service includes a substantial editorial review letter, a one-hour free online consultation (e-meeting or email - whichever your preference), high-level copy edits to finesse your prose, and follow up correspondence.

  • Your manuscript is in good shape and you are happy with the content and structure. The next step is a copy-edit! This service focuses on your writing style. I review your expression, syntax, punctuation, spelling, and grammar. You can expect thorough edits which include detailed recommendations for improvement.

    This service includes an editorial review letter, a one-hour online consultation (e-meeting or email - whichever you prefer), and an annotated edit of your manuscript.

    This service includes an editorial review letter, follow-up correspondence, and an annotated edit of your manuscript.

  • Have you finished the first draft of your manuscript? Are you looking for some feedback before starting the in-depth developmental editing process? I will gladly read your manuscript and provide high-level feedback on all aspects of your work.

    This affordable service includes a beta-reader review letter and follow-up correspondence.

  • Are you or your organisation in need of a copy-writer who can produce articulate and engaging content in a timely fashion? I have a PhD in English and an extensive list of academic and non-academic publications. I specialise in fiction and education, but I’ve also spent many years teaching history and cybernetics.

    Get in touch and let’s have a conversation about your project and how I can help.

  • Engaging an editor can feel daunting - what if you don’t like their style? What if they don’t “get” what you’re trying to do with your work?

    In this service I offer a free, 1-page editing sample so you can get a feel for my approach.
