Let’s work together
Editorial Services
Unlike a lot of authors, I didn’t start voraciously reading or writing fiction as a kid; I had to learn by becoming obsessed with learning. Every lesson I absorbed, line I wrote, line I rewrote, and friend I made along the way breathed magic into my life.
Due to professional and other commitments, as well as the dedication I reserve for each project, I keep my client list extremely limited. Express your interest via the Contact page.
I love working with brand new writers, emerging talents, and seasoned published professionals. All services are individual and tailored to each author/project.
I read broadly across many genres. You can see what I love on my About Me page. The following are NOT a great fit for me: poetry collections, novels in verse, picture books, horror (I slept with the light on until I was 17), dark dystopian, hard sci-fi, spy or military novels, and novels without women. I will happily work with creative non-fiction writers (personal essay and memoir) on their writing craft, but please be aware that my publishing knowledge for non-fiction is limited.
I am based on the east coast of Australia, but will happily work with any writers around the globe writing in English.
Whilst I may choose to fix or comment on grammar or typos, I do not provide copy editing or proofreading services.
Live feedback
Soundboarding, consulting, plotting, coaching, live critiquing, falling in love, whatever you want to call it, let’s talk it out.
Written critique
Writing is both an art and a skill. Honing craft becomes addictive. Send me your sample and let’s get into it.
Full-length editorial
From plot and structure, to character and sentence craft, I want to help get your work where you want it.
