Why edit?
Consistency
I can make your manuscript consistent to a style guide and create a bespoke style sheet for your writing.
Clarity
Unclear sentences, plot holes and inconsistencies can distract your readers. Editing can fix that!
Conciseness
Make your writing stand out by creating an engaging narrative and well-rounded plot.
Conscious language
Language editing is more than just checking spelling, grammar and punctuation. I always edit language for authenticity, conscious that words can do a great deal of harm.
I specialise in supporting LGBTQ+ writing, both fiction and non-fiction.
