Professional Writing & Editing Services
Developmental Editing
Refine your manuscript’s structure and content with an expert eye. Whilst I work with most genres, I have expert level knowledge in YA, mystery, upmarket fiction, literary fiction, romance and horror narratives. Ideal for authors seeking to enhance their story’s flow and depth.
(Unfortunately, I am not accepting spy/espionage, religious, or very dark romance – CNC, etc. at this time)
Manuscript Assessment, Beta & Sensitvity Reading
Receive detailed “big picture” feedback on your manuscript’s strengths and weaknesses, focusing on plot, character development, and thematic consistency. I also offer sensitivity reading for ADHD and can consult on British cultural nuances. Special beta+ reading & sensitivity reading only options available.
Line Editing
Words matter. That’s why partnering with a skilled editor can make all the difference. Together, we’ll fine-tune your prose, polish each sentence, and strengthen the flow of your narrative. Line editing is a collaborative process that brings your story to life, transforming it into an unforgettable experience for readers.

Specialising in YA, romance, upmarket fiction, mystery, horror, and anything intriguingly dark, my freelance and ghostwriting services are crafted to captivate and immerse your readers in worlds beyond the ordinary.
