Accredited Editor 2018
I love to work with writers to help them bring their worlds, stories and characters to life. I work in the cultural sector, and I coach writers and edit fiction freelance for the intense satisfaction it brings me. My aim is simple – to understand the writer’s vision for their work, and to support them to achieve that with honesty, clarity and a commitment to excellence. I guarantee the confidentiality and professional treatment of your manuscript, and my heartfelt support for your creative endeavour.
