Editing

Editorial Support 
Whether you’re working on a novel, memoir, short story, or developing an app, product, web or social media presence, I’m here to help bring your voice and message across to your target audience.  In addition to my own fiction and non-fiction (see home page and author page), my previous clients as an editor and copywriter include Transworld (now Penguin Random House), Telegraph Media Group and HarveyNichols.com. Individuals I’ve supported include award-winning and nominated authors, branding experts, lecturers, medical professionals and coaches. Recent commissions include apps, film releases and luxury fashion brands as well as novels, TV and film scripts, memoirs and short stories. Request availability here.

Initial Editorial Packages
An initial editorial package will produce a 1-page report on the work as it stands: a summary of its overall theme, genre and goals, then sections on characterisation, plot and structure, place and momentum, and moving forward.

Extended Editorial Packages
An extended editorial package will include line-edits, comments in track changes and a short summary of the main issues and advice at the end of the work.

All editorial and copywriting content remains confidential, between creator and editor.
