Do you need your business documents checked for professional content and formatting? Or are you an author or publisher seeking a reliable proofreader with excellent attention to detail? I work with businesses, authors and publishers to proofread and copy edit business documents, fiction and RPG books. I particularly love working with all types of imaginative fiction. I will sift through your story and fix grammar, spelling and punctuation; offer suggestions to improve sentences; and help spot inconsistencies or other issues with plot or characters. Edits are made using Track Changes in Word, and I work with US or British English. I can also offer beta-reading manuscript feedback. If you think we might be a good fit, message me - please include information on the type of documents or fiction genre, word count and timescale, and the type of proofreading, editing or feedback you are looking for.

I'm a book editor with experience in tackling both full-length novels and short stories (although YA/NA fantasy or Sci-fi novels are my favorites). As a developmental editor, I specialize in tackling the big-picture elements of a story, such as the character arcs, logic, and overall flow of the book. This is typically the earliest stage of professional editing and happens once you have written your book and revised it several times yourself. Even if you have taken months to comb through every detail of your book, it is still possible to overlook plot holes and inconsistencies in your own work because you are viewing it as a writer, not as a reader (this is not a personal flaw, everyone does it!) That's where I come in. I will read your work in full and offer honest feedback as well as advice and support about how you can improve your book. I will make in-line comments as I go, using the 'Comment' feature on MS Word. I may also suggest changes using the 'Track Changes' function, where you can accept or reject alterations as you see fit. Once I have read the entire manuscript, I will provide written feedback with specific advice about where the book works well, where it falls down, and what I think you should do next. I may also provide a chapter summary to help you see your book at a distance (this can also help you later in the process if you decide to submit to a publisher or agent because it makes it easier to write a synopsis of your work). Once you have read all comments and feedback, we can arrange to meet via Zoom to discuss everything in more detail, or to give you the opportunity to clarify anything you're not sure about. I want you to be happy with my work, so I will assist you through as many revisions as necessary until you are satisfied with the result. I am always available to answer any questions you may have along the way, so don't be afraid to ask. Having your work professionally edited is one of the best things you can do for your book, so please get in touch to start the ball rolling on your future publishing success.

I'm a novelist, I've been writing for six years which means six years of honing my craft day by day. My English ability is of a high professional level. I have excellent Word skills along with Exel and PowerPoint, and my typing speed is above average. You can find my novel on Amazon for an example of my writing ability, and my second is soon to come. It is not an easy task to complete a novel so I think this is a strong showcase of my talent. You can believe that from the skill required to write my own novel, I am more than capable of aiding with critiquing, editing and improving your work. I'm able to swiftly fix manuscripts. This can be applied to any form of writing; articles, blog posts or scripts. Have a strong knowledge of film and film criticism. I'm here to help with the writing side of things, if you need a catchy hook or a descriptive piece for your product or website, i'm your girl!

I have been helping writers and authors edit their work for over ten years now. I am also a best selling, (indie and traditional), author in my own right. [To verify this just look up my Amazon author page using the search title of Future Proof by David Atkinson or by searching for my author profile on Harper Collins.] This is important because I firmly believe that in order to properly edit a manuscript the editor should be able to demonstrate they know what they're talking about. Walking the talk if you like. I also value undertaking a short sample edit before proceeding to anything more substantial. This benefits the client as they can see that I know what I'm doing, but it also helps me as it allows me to judge what stage the work has reached. if I don't feel your manuscript is ready for a full edit, I will tell you, saving us both time and money.
