What you get with this Offer
I specialise in elevating manuscripts from rough drafts to polished, compelling narratives that keep readers turning pages. I examine the big picture elements that make stories work: plot structure, character arcs, pacing, tension, and thematic resonance. If your story feels stuck, your characters lack depth, or your plot isn't quite clicking, I'll help you identify and solve these challenges while preserving your unique voice and vision.
My Approach
With over a decade of professional editing experience and a lifelong passion for storytelling, I bring both technical expertise and creative insight to every manuscript. I understand what makes readers lean in, what keeps addictively turning pages, and what elevates a good story into an unforgettable one.
From your opening hook through your climactic finale, I'll analyse every story beat, examining how each scene serves your narrative arc. My goal is to help you create a story with substance, style, and soul — one that resonates and endures.
Once I’ve read your manuscript multiple times, I’ll write up my feedback to help improve your work on a global level. My goal is to help you unlock the potential of your writing by helping you work through any big-picture weaknesses. I will consider:
> clarity and cohesion of overarching themes and ideas
> chronologies and settings (with an eye to possible incongruities and timing issues)
> tension, momentum, and narrative shape
> narrative distance and POV
> consistency of voice and writing style
> plot beats and transitions
> genre and purpose (and how your manuscript aligns with reader and publisher expectations).
What You'll Receive
✅ Comprehensive Editorial Report: A detailed analysis highlighting your manuscript's strengths, addressing areas for improvement, and providing actionable solutions for any narrative challenges

Whether you're crafting a novel, memoir, short story collection, or narrative nonfiction, I'll help you create a clearer, stronger, and more impactful work that connects with your intended audience.
