"Angela was incredible to work with! Her work was timely and accurate. She communicated clearly, kept me in the loop about her progress on the project, and was able to complete two different tasks (beta reading and copyediting) in advance of milestone deadlines." - Author's feedback on a 30K manuscript project. If you need a copy editor or proofreader: I'm your extra pair of eyes to detect typos, grammatical/syntax errors, confusing sentences or plot holes.

My Services: ☑️ Copy editing ☑️ Proofreading ☑️ Developmental editing ☑️ Beta reading Extra Info: ☑️ Romance specialist but interested in editing and proofreading most genres, including non-fiction ☑️ Native English speaker with a MA in English based in Edinburgh ☑️ 12+ years of writing, copy editing and proofreading experience ☑️ Self-published author ☑️ Timely turnaround (1 week for a 60K word copy edit / proofread) ☑️ Prefer Word.docx using track changes and highlighted comments (but Google Docs OK too) ☑️ Delivery: a tracked changes version and a clean version of your manuscript. ☑️ UK English or US English - either is fine If you need an experienced, affordable copy editor, proofreader or beta reader with a quick turnaround, contact me for a quote!

Hi there, I’m a writer with more than 8 years worth of experience in both fiction and non-fiction writing. I’m a ghostwriter with a passion for romantic and steamy books with atmospheric settings. When I’m not freelancing, you can find me buried in my to-be-read book pile, finding not only joy in books that I'd love to help you bring to readers, but also inspiration. I love casting fresh eyes over a project, giving some editorial on existing work, but making words fill a page first and foremost! My works have been featured in several literary journals including the Best Served Cold zine, Engendered Literary, and Drip Lit magazine. I am also the prose editor for Sophon Literary magazine. I also write poetry, short stories, and love inclusive casts. As part of the LGBTQ+ community, I pride myself on finding stories that highlight characters like me, and I’d love to find work that centres around this too!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ''I made the mistake of hiring another writer first, paid good money for what turned out to be beautifully written nonsense. It looked nice on the surface but had zero soul, zero strategy. I was gutted. That sinking feeling of knowing you've wasted time, money, and momentum? I felt that hard. Then I found her. A total saviour. I felt seen. She didn't just write the book, she channeled my vision and made it better than I ever imagined. It hits harder, connects deeper, and actually converts. Now we're on our 3rd book together!'' — 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐭 𝐀., 𝟑𝐱 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 ❌ Clients don't hire me just because I'm a 𝐓𝐎𝐏-𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐞𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐆𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫. ✅ They hire me because they've seen what the wrong writer costs. Not just money. Momentum. Months. The version of the book that lived in their head before someone flattened it into something forgettable. 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄'𝐒 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐍𝐎𝐁𝐎𝐃𝐘 𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐒 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐇𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀 𝐆𝐇𝐎𝐒𝐓𝐖𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐑: A writer who sounds good in a proposal isn't the same as a writer who thinks strategically about your book. Most clients can't tell the difference until the manuscript lands in their inbox and something feels off. The voice is close but not quite right. The chapters are clean but somehow lifeless. The deadline was met but the vision wasn't. And somewhere underneath that disappointment lives a fear most clients never say out loud: that maybe the idea itself was the problem. That maybe their vision wasn't as strong as they thought. That the book failing was on them. 𝐈𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐧'𝐭. 𝐈𝐭 𝐢𝐬𝐧'𝐭. 𝐈𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐬. You're not a writer. You were never supposed to know how to spot the difference between someone who can string sentences together and someone who can carry a vision from the first page to the last without dropping it. You trusted the process. The process let you down. That's on the industry. Not on you. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐰. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐦𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠. ⚠️ 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: Working with me may cause side effects like 𝐀𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐨𝐧 #𝟏 𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬, readers leaving five-star reviews before they've had their morning coffee ☕⭐, and a dangerous addiction to publishing your next book without blinking twice. 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐭. If your idea has the balls to 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭, it deserves to 𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝. 🌍🚨 Amazon's Kindle market is hitting $1.25 billion annually. Self-published authors are cashing in with books that aren't half as good as yours. So why not you? 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐤. 𝐈'𝐥𝐥 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐞. 🔥 Here's what that looks like in practice: A self-help author came to me after her first book stalled at 11 reviews and flatlined. She had the framework, the credibility, the audience. What she didn't have was a book that made readers feel something before they'd finished chapter two. We rebuilt the narrative from the inside out. Six weeks after relaunch: 4.9 stars, 190+ reviews, and a reader who forwarded it to her entire company leadership team. She came back for book two before book one had been live a month. A romance author came to me after her series lost momentum between books — readers loved book one but dropped off before book two launched. The problem wasn't the story. It was pacing, tension, and a second-act that stopped pulling. We fixed the arc, tightened the heat, and sharpened the cliffhanger. Book two outsold book one in its first three weeks. She hasn't worked with another writer since. That's not coincidence. That's what happens when strategy and soul are in the same manuscript. 🧨 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐈 𝐃𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞 👉 Business books that made CEOs weep with joy 👉 Self-help guides that went viral on Amazon 👉 Steamy romances that exploded Kindle charts 👉 Cookbooks shared more than family recipes 🍲❤️ Over 7 years. Billionaires, yogis, coaches, spiritual leaders, keto chefs, and fantasy-fueled hopeless romantics. I've been there. I've written it. I've sold it. You're next. 🧠 𝐌𝐲 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 👉 A focused brief that pulls the real gold out of your vision — no endless back-and-forth 👉 Voice-matching so precise it'll unsettle your closest friends 😱 👉 Chapter-by-chapter delivery with milestones on or ahead of schedule — always 👉 Every revision turned around in 48 hours. No chasing. No silence. No surprises. Now picture your book six weeks from now. A stranger finishes the last page at midnight, tags three people, and orders a second copy for someone they love. Your inbox has a message that says it changed something. And you're already talking to me about the next one. That's not a fantasy. That's the pattern. Send a message and here's what happens first: I'll tell you exactly what your book needs 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐫. 🔥

I've been writing romance for twelve years – the last six as a ghostwriter helping authors turn their ideas into finished novels. Romance is what I do best. I know the beats, the tension, the emotional arcs that make readers care. Whether you're after something dark and intense or sweet and heartfelt, I can deliver characters with depth and chemistry that feels real. I've worked across the full spectrum of romance – contemporary, historical, and paranormal are just a few. If you've got a romance story waiting to be told, I'd love to help make it happen.
