You've poured your soul into your manuscript. Now, let's ensure every word hits the mark. Whether it's ensuring your work is flawless or you'd like big-picture, structural feedback, I help authors elevate their story and write with confidence.
Manuscript Evaluation: Big-picture feedback on pacing, character arcs and plot development.
Copyediting and Line Editing: Sentence-level refinements to enhance clarity, rhythm and cohesion, whilst preserving your unique authorial voice.
Proofreading: Meticulous checking for typos, consistency and technical accuracy for grammar, spelling and formatting.
Writing is a deeply personal experience, where your unique perspective is translated onto the page. As a former primary school teacher, I understand the personal stakes involved in any project and know how to work alongside others empathetically, ensuring world-class outcomes with a personable approach.
I bring a unique blend of grammatical expertise, commercial writing experience and professional coaching to every author I work with.
Uncompromising Technical Expertise: With a BA (Hons) in English and English Language and over a decade of experience as an whole-school English lead, I have a masterful grip on grammatical accuracy. I know the rules inside out — which means I know how and when to break them for maximum narrative impact.
Eye for Assessment: As a local authority writing moderator and over a decade of experience in SATs marking, I have honed my ability to forensically analyse for clarity, consistency, and meeting purpose and audience. I don't just know how to identify errors; I know how where a character, sentence or metaphor isn't landing and exactly how to fix it.
Industry Experience: I don't just edit; I write. My recent work crafting stories for BBC Bitesize grammar content means I am producing engaging and technically accurate content for a huge national platform.
Feedback with Empathy: As a former Assistant Headteacher with years of coaching and mentoring experience, I know how to deliver highly-constructive, motivational, supportive feedback. I am here to act as your writing coach. I offer clear, actionable advice that elevates your skills and builds your confidence.
