My editorial process balances pragmatism and precision with optimism and encouragement. I’ll act as a sounding board for your ideas, help you understand how your work lands with a reader and guide you through the often mystifying world of publishing.
While many of my clients go on to secure representation and publication, I make it a point of principle never to mislead a writer about their chances in a highly competitive market.
I have wide experience with literary fiction – including historical fiction and psychological thrillers – as well as book club fiction and a broad range of non-fiction, from ‘big idea’ books and biography to memoir. Please contact me to discuss how I can help with your non-fiction project.
The Snapshot Fiction Report gives a concise (5–6 page) overview of your novel, assessing the core pillars of the narrative, the level at which the material is written and its commercial appeal.
It highlights what is working well while identifying areas for development, with clear and actionable suggestions.

At 10–12 pages in length, the Full Report provides a more in-depth editorial analysis.
It addresses both big-picture elements – including narrative arc, character development, plausibility, pace, tension and structure – and the finer detail of the writing itself

A submission package report (5–6 pages) ensures your opening material is as strong as possible — refining the first 10,000 words, your cover letter and synopsis to present a compelling case for your work.
If I feel a manuscript is not yet ready for submission, I will explain why and suggest next steps.
