Written a book but no idea what to do next? Weighing up the pros and cons of pitching to agents versus self-publishing? Struggling with your confidence in becoming a published author. You’re not alone – in fact, apparently 90% of people believe they’ve ‘got a book’ in them and yet only 3% of them go on to write and publish theirs.

Welcome to a very small, exclusive group of people taking the steps to become published authors. There are quite a few stages beyond the writing part so get in touch to request a copy of my bespoke Manuscript Checklist (tailored for fiction or nonfiction) and plan ahead.

I’ve been doing this long enough to have learned more than a few secrets about the publishing industry. Having edited over 26million words over the last decade, first as a copyeditor and then as a book editor, I’ve helped many individuals and entrepreneurs write with confidence.

So if you’ve written your manuscript and planning ahead to hire a freelance book editor then book a consultation so we can chat about your book. As an experienced editor with repeat clients, I generally get booked several months in advance. Or if you’ve just got an idea for a book then I provide Author Coaching. And in 2025, I have several new digital courses launching as well as continuing with my next in-person writing workshops.

I offer One-to-One Author Coaching and Professional Book Editing. Find out more about these services below or, alternatively, get in touch to discuss your requirements!
