I provide a friendly and professional service for independent and self-publishing authors which can include developmental/structural editing, copy/line editing and proofreading.

​

So, if you have finished your manuscript or are at the 'I can't see the wood for the trees' stage, you have come to the right place.

​

What happens next?

​

I'll ask you about your writing and what your ultimate goal is, whether it is to submit to a publisher, or to publish independently. Although I specialise in working with self-publishing authors, I can also offer help and advice to those wanting to submit their work to agents or publishing houses.

​

Then I'll take a look at the whole manuscript and advise which editorial service would best suit you, moving forwards. I'll also give you a quote and some idea of a time frame for the proposed work.

 

If you are happy to go ahead, a free sample edit of a few thousand words or a chapter will follow if a copy-edit or proofread is required. In the case of a structural edit, I will give you some initial idea of areas where some of the 'bigger picture' changes could be made, and how these could be implemented. 

Take a look at my Author Services page for more detail about what these services include.

​

If you are happy with the way I work then it's all systems go!

​

These initial discussions are crucial in ensuring that we can communicate clearly and that I can be sure that I am working in a way which preserves your individual style and voice, as the author.

Exciting times!
