I Love to Edit


Romance, fantasy, speculative fiction, contemporary fiction, historical fiction, and most other fiction genres. I’m especially drawn to character-driven stories with emotional depth, strong relationships, and immersive worlds—but I’m happy to work across all types of fiction.

Authors I Work With

I work with authors from all over the world and edit in both UK and US English. One of the joys of running my own business is getting to support writers wherever they’re based.

"Writing is the act of pouring your soul onto the page; editing is the quiet work of shaping it into clarity."

The 
Basic 
Services
(in more detail) 

Proofreading

I refine your text at the final stage of the editing process, carefully correcting spelling, grammar, punctuation, and formatting errors once all substantive edits are complete. This final pass focuses on clarity, consistency, and polish, ensuring your work is clean, accurate, and ready for submission or publication—without altering your voice or meaning.

Line Editing

I work closely with your prose, line by line, to gently improve clarity, flow, tone, and consistency. The goal is to help your writing read smoothly and confidently, while fully preserving your voice and the heart of what you’re saying.

$0.008 per word

Developmental

I offer clear, thoughtful feedback to help strengthen your story’s structure, character arcs, pacing, and emotional impact. We’ll look at what’s working, what might need more space or clarity, and how to bring the heart of your story forward—always with respect for your voice and without rewriting it.
