About this Gig

I am a bestselling hybrid author of fiction and non-fiction. I've worked as a freelance editor and proofreader for twenty years and know the UK and US publishing industries well.


I will work to resolve big-picture issues in your YA manuscript, including structure, form, plot, and character. This will include comments on what you could do to make your work more marketable.


I will provide comments on the manuscript itself as well as additional changes and suggestions in a separate report to improve your manuscript before you self-publish or send it out to publishers.


I've helped hundreds of writers in my roles as editor, proofreader, book coach and creative writing instructor, and have a YouTube channel full of writing advice and all kinds of author stuff: https://www.youtube.com/@EmmaBennetAuthor

    Laura wasn't shy about being honest about things that needed changed but did it in a kind way that made it fun! I loved seeing her input and ideas. I had a great time working with her and she delivered quickly. Very nice, very professional and really good at what she does! I'll be back.

    Thanks once again Laura. Just goes to show it's better to speak to professional than re-write the same scene twenty-three times!

    Laura is an excellent editor and proofreader. She gave me very hopeful and detailed feedback about the tone and plot of my story. Also she suggested details to add to my MC that I hadn't thought of and that will definitely make the story a lot better.

    Laura was extremely thorough and honest which I completely appreciate because this will absolutely help me build my skills as an author by her pointing out all my spelling errors (lol, sorry about that Laura) and letting me know what drawbacks are and suggesting how to improve the story. Thank you so, so much!
