Stories matter.
I offer a range of services for authors looking to self-publish or perfect their manuscripts. Not sure? I’m happy to discuss your needs or offer you a free sample edit. I work across a broad variety of genres, including general fiction, romance, fantasy and science fiction. I specialise in editing fiction with LGBTQ+ themes and characters.
Developmental editing
Adjustments across the entire manuscript that are tailored to supporting your story. This could be any aspect of your story, including plot, narrative or characterisation.
Get in touch to discuss my rates for developmental editing.
Copyediting
Checking for consistency, clarity, conciseness and correctness. This level of editing is great for when you are happy with your story but want to tighten up your prose and iron out any wrinkles. Copyediting will also deal with spelling, punctuation and grammar issues.

Page layout and typesetting
Whether you are creating a print book, ebook or both, I can use work with you to design beautiful interior pages that draw your reader in.
Ebooks (up to 100,000 words) £120
Print books (up to 100,000 words) £160
Proofreading
Ready to print? (Or whatever the ebook equivalent is!) Proofreading is the final check before publishing and ensures that all spelling, punctuation and grammar are correct as well as formatting and page layout elements are right too.

Beta reading
What’s working? What’s not working? How does the story impact the reader? As a trained editor, I can provide detailed and expert feedback on your novel. This can be especially useful for authors not able to afford a full development edit.
Manuscripts up to 100,000 words: £200
LGBTQ+ sensitivity read
Writing about the LGBTQ+ community? Don’t want to offend? I will read your manuscript, or passages from it, to ensure that you avoid upsetting, hurting or damaging the LGBTQ+ community.
Manuscripts up to 100,000 words: £100
“I was delighted with the work! The stylistic feedback was very helpful, and the edits caught all the details I’d missed.”
