Proofreading, Developmental Editing and Copy Editing
With some 20 years’ experience sub-editing for national newspapers and magazines, proofreading and editing are second nature to me.
Developmental Editing
As a professional creative writing teacher, developmental editing is an area of special interest to me. I have worked on one novel so far, with another coming soon. I make considered suggestions to improve content, flow, tone, voice, and consistency and ensure your novel hangs together perfectly, ready for submission to a publisher.
Proofreading and Editing
When you’ve worked hard on an article, story, poetry collection, memoir, novel, website or whatever your baby is, it would be a shame to let it down with typos and grammatical errors. This is where I can help – I’m a razor-sharp proofreader!
As an editor (for example, cutting words to adhere to a given word-count), I am sensitive to your voice and will alter your work as little as possible. I can also help you to expand and improve your writing, through conversation and mutual agreement.
Ghostwriting
I can also ghostwrite for smaller projects – such as blog posts, articles and pamphlets.
