After gaining an MA in Children's Literature, I quickly learnt my craft at the Eve White Literary Agency editing all genres of fiction.
I have assisted authors such as Costa shortlisted Sarah Naughton, Kim Slater, June Taylor, Lara Williamson, Emma Haughton and Rupert Wallis achieve their publishing dreams by creating bespoke editorials that ensured these writers gained agent representation and six-figure publishing deals. Many of them have since been shortlisted for a multitude of literary prizes.
I'm a collaborative, engaging editor and trained journalist who prides herself in working closely with emerging and established writers and shaping them into prize-winning authors. With a lot of hard work, commitment and discipline, I am confident that I can raise your writing standards and increase your chances of improvement and success.
I offer a range of editorial services suitable for all budgets and have the advantage of looking at a manuscript from an agent, editorial and journalistic perspective. This enables me to have a three hundred and sixty degree point of reference for shaping a rough draft into a polished piece of literature, fit for publication and global commercial success.
I will not only undertake editorials but will write you a highly sophisticated 2-4 page critical overview of your novel. This has proved invaluable to the authors that I have worked with, and my aim is to always go above and beyond the average edit.
My editorial outlook and perspective is always fresh and engaging and I am incredibly ambitious for every single client who chooses my service.
It takes tenacity, creativity and an in-depth understanding of narratives to ensure a novel reaches publication perfection. From the moment you hire me to project completion, I will work tirelessly with you to perfect your novel.
If you are interested in my services, please do not hesitate to contact me. I would be more than happy to discuss your project with you.
