Editorial engineering that makes your stories fly.
Professional editorial services for publishers.
Authors bring their expertise to the table — be that farming, skincare, politics, or their own life story — but they’re not always experienced writers. I can take care of the editorial side of things so authors can concentrate on sounding like themselves.
Whether your author needs help developing a story structure or just a little support with knocking their manuscript into shape, my broad experience in publishing means I can bridge the gap between author and reader — whether fiction or non-fiction, for adults or children.
Developmental Editing
If you have acquired an author with a compelling story, but they don’t have writing experience, I can engage them in big-picture editing that produces a satisfying arc, punchy dialogue, and shines with the publisher’s vision.
Copy-editing
I can brush up manuscripts at a paragraph and sentence level to improve flow and create harmony, making sure your author’s expertise isn't obscured by dense text or fussy phrasing.
Writing
Have a great idea that's concept-led rather than author-led? Or perhaps you have landed a big name but they need help writing? I can come on board to create the product that you have in mind.
Project Management
Too many titles, not enough time? I am open to taking on the project management of select titles when in-house staff are time-poor. You can feel secure that your books are in the hands of someone with in-house know-how.
