novel or short story edit

Sometimes, all you need is a fresh pair of eyes on your novel. I can help with that.

I have more than 20 years’ industry experience, with 10 of those years spent helping emerging writers find success. I’d be delighted to help you make your writing the best it can be.

I believe in making support accessible to emerging authors, so I keep my rates as low as possible. But if they’re out of your range right now, click here for information about finding someone to give you a non-professional critique of your work.

I offer a FREE, no obligation 15-minute consultation for anyone considering mentoring or editing packages. Click below to set up a time for us to chat.

FAQ

Absolutely! I love working with writers on their novels. Anything over 20,000 words is charged at a £0.02 per word. So for a 70,000 word novel, you would pay £650 for the first 20,000 words, then £0.02 per word for the remaining 50,000 words. If you’d like to book an edit on your full-length novel, please get in touch with me in advance so we can discuss a schedule that works for both of us.

Yes you can. If, for example, you book a 10,000 word package but you only want to send me 8,000 words of your novel, you might choose to include a 1,000 word synopsis and a 1,000 word plot breakdown too. As long as the documents all relate to the same project, I’m more than happy to look at ancillary material as well.

​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.

Absolutely – for services over £200, I’m happy to discuss a payment plan that suits.
