Editing Services
I approach my client manuscripts in the same way as a book I am preparing to publish. I take a look at how the story unfolds and the structure of the manuscript. I take into consideration the voice, character development, quality of writing, flow and pacing.
I also love editing query letters and synopses.
​
My favourite genres are memoir, literary fiction and autofiction. I also consider genre fiction.
My background includes 20+ years of writing, editing and publishing experience. I've worked with hundreds of writers, published bestsellers and award-winning books, and I've even helped clients to land contracts.
I'd love to hear about your book project.

Director & editor at Guts Publishing
What type of editing?
I offer book editing for fiction and memoir writers. My developmental editing is a combination of line editing and developmental editing. I place a strong focus on the pace of your manuscript while maintaining the voice, style and content. I focus on the organisation of the chapters and creating beautiful sentences. I include annotations in the margins of your manuscript.
​
My other areas of expertise include synopsis editing and query letter editing. I've assisted many writers with these and in turn have helped them to secure publishing contracts.
​
I'm also a meticulous copyeditor and proofreader. This service covers any errors with grammar, spelling or formatting.
I use MS Word Track Changes for editing. I work in both US and UK English.
