I’m a CIEP-qualified editor who specialises in helping writers publish prose to be proud of. My niches are academic writing, creative copywriting, and speculative fiction, but I also thrive on variety – I cannot overstate how much! – and I approach my work as I try to approach life in general: perpetually curious, a student of everything.

I’m based in London but my client base is worldwide and I regularly edit manuscripts in US English. I have studied the intricacies and transformative power of style and story all my long professional life, and I love nothing more than helping authors hone their craft until their writing dances off the page.

My goal as your editor is simple: bring out the very best in your writing. My approach to every manuscript is non-prescriptive, attuned to the author’s preferences and intentions, and rooted in a deep appreciation for language, style, and heart. I tend to invest my whole self in editing projects so will likely care as much about your potential masterpiece as you do, but it is your masterpiece and must faithfully reflect your style and vision, from the big picture to the tiny details. So although I cannot guarantee publication or representation, I can assure you that I will work tirelessly to elevate the artistry of your prose while safeguarding your voice, never wresting creative control from your hands.

With a background in project management and developmental editing, and an enduring fascination with the processes and techniques of creative writing, I bring to bear on every project a deep knowledge of what makes a story great, what makes one memorable, and what makes one last. And we’re all storytellers, aren’t we? Not just the novelists and raconteurs among us, but those of us seeking to communicate the tale of who we are and what we believe in. In our blogging, our marketing, our business and brand creation, our well-chosen words are often our only ambassadors, carrying our values, meanings, and ideas to the hearts and minds of our readers.

So, please contact me and I'll help bring your vision to life and ensure that your story is the best version of itself it can be.
