editing & mentoring
professional & affordable 1:1 help with your writing
I’m an experienced mentor and development editor and I love to work 1:1 with writers who want to make their manuscript the best it can be. I’m based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, but I work with students online (via Google Meet), and my clients come from all over the world.
Together, we’ll look at your narrative arc, your structure, your characters, point of view and more. I’ll identify areas where your writing could benefit from a bit of attention and make suggestions to help you solve any issues that arise. I’ll also let you know which bits are working and why, so that you don’t lose sight of why your writing is important!
You can also book a free 15-minute chat with me (via Google Meet or telephone) to see what might be the right solution for you before committing to an editorial package. If I don’t think you need a paid edit or mentorship, I won’t be afraid to tell you – sometimes a chat with a professional is all it takes to get the writing flowing again.

FAQ
Absolutely! I charge a reduced rate (£0.01 per word) to look at work that’s been rewritten after one of my editorial packages. You can choose to send me excerpts rather than the full document if there are particular sections you’d like me to focus on specifically. Drop me a line and we’ll take it from there.
No, that’s a different sort of edit and I leave it to the folks who specialise in that area.
