Looking for help to develop your writing project?

Are you polishing your manuscript ready for an approach to an agent or publisher, or finalising it before self-publishing?  

Are you a writer of non-fiction, fiction, memoir or family history?

Are you a student writing your Master’s or PhD thesis or a paper for publication in an academic journal?

Do you have a great idea for a book but no idea of how to get started? Or is it half-written but in need of a structural overhaul or some new ideas for moving forward?

With years of experience as an editor, reader and teacher/mentor, I can work with you to develop your project, no matter what stage you have progressed to so far.

I am tactful, sensitive and respectful of the fact that it is YOUR work; but I will be honest with you and give you lots of ideas about how to improve it – after all, that’s what you’re paying for! Sometimes a fresh and objective pair of eyes is all you need.  

Are you working in a highly specific or technical subject area? I’m not afraid of this. With experience in areas such as technical, legal and theological publishing, I know how to ask the right questions and blend my expert language skills with your subject expertise for a well-written, well-structured and successful outcome.

Please contact me to discuss your manuscript appraisal and development needs. I would love to work alongside you and help you bring your work to fruition!
