You’ve finished writing. Congratulations! But even the most careful writer can’t always see the bigger picture or the small detail. It’s hard to notice these things yourself.

​

Perhaps you haven't shared your work with anyone yet. But don’t worry – my thoughtful, professional approach will show you the way forward.

 

Discover below how I'll help to make your book publication-ready through developmental editing, copyediting and/or proofreading.  ​

​

Throughout, I’ll keep true to your voice.

Outdoor adventure

Working with you on tales of walking, running, cycling, ultra-endurance sports, mountaineering, rock climbing, travel, exploration or survival.

​

Memoir and autobiography

Helping to share your experiences and your history in your voice.

Hire me at an early stage, and my practical advice and guidance will help you transform those first drafts into a professional manuscript.

​

Getting the structure, the plot and the themes right is crucial.

​

If your text hangs together well, your reader will find it clear, logical and persuasive.

​

I'll help you bring structure to your book, ensure a consistent tone and make your writing flow, all with your reader in mind.

​

My in-depth editorial report and recommendations will show you the way forward.

Self-editing can only take you so far. Let me read your book carefully, line by line, and suggest how you can sharpen those words.

​

My gentle but clear feedback will bring your book up to a professional level.

 

I’ll address any issues with grammar, consistency or spelling, while also creating your bespoke style guide.

The editing’s done, but after so many drafts, errors will have crept in.

​

I’ll professionally proofread your final version, before or after design, and catch those final glitches.

​

And if your book's already been designed, I'll also thoroughly review the layout.
