Need help with your manuscript?

Getting your work ready for publication is a long process, many writers find it even harder than the writing itself. Sometimes you need a fresh set of eyes and a fresh perspective to really make your work shine. 

What I offer

Developmental Editing

I work with authors to help bring their vision to life. Developing an idea from a bare concept or first draft can be a daunting task. I assist new and aspiring authors to better structure their work, identify plot holes, clarify concepts and ensure that there are no issues of continuity.


Services:


  • Narrative restructuring


  • Genre clarification


  • Characterisation and plot assessment


  • Development of craft


  • Accuracy


Technical writing will be an essential element in getting your manuscript published in the traditional way or finding success in the indie market. I do not offer full copy editing or proofreading, however I will pick up major or repetitive issues in your work and suggest improvements.


What will you get?


  • A fully edited manuscript with annotations detailing issues of plot, characterisation, continuity and any other issues I feel need to be raised. 


  • Suggestions on how any issues might be addressed. It is important to note that some of these might be technical issues, others will be subjective. It is the author's work, I will never seek to change it, only provide suggestions.


  • A summary of key points to be addressed and suggestions.

I will normally ask for a small example of your work to get a feel for what might be needed and how long it will take to complete. 

I will then arrange an initial discussion with you to find out exactly what you would like to get out of the process. 

We will agree a timeline and a payment schedule.
