*Message me for bespoke editing / feedback
Are you worried your novel opening doesn't pack a punch to make the reader stick around to find out more....?
Tied up in wordiness, character depth and need some advice from a neutral perspective?
Or perhaps you just want a fresh pair of eyes to give you feedback on your chapter or short story?

· Plot
· Characterisation
· Tone
· Pace
· Structure
· Readability and
· Whether your writing has that 'hook'
An avid reader of commercial fiction; I have a well-trained eye for what works and what doesn't. I have written five novels and my published work consistently receives five-star feedback on online book review platforms.
I frequently beta-read for novelists and script-writers who value my opinion and produce improved revisions as a result of my feedback.
I understand what a big step it is to put yourself out there. Let me help you ensure your manuscript is in the best possible shape before you introduce it to the world!

FAQ
How should I send my manuscript?
A Word document or a PDF is fine if you have opted for the Manuscript Feedback form only. If you have selected the 'more detailed appraisal' add-on, please send a Word document so that I can comment on the manuscript itself. Thanks!
What writing do you read?
I can happily beta-read any fiction or memoir. Personally, I mostly read (and write) commercial fiction - and in particular, psychological thrillers, or plots with a dark, edgy twist.
Do you read non-fiction?
I do read memoirs if they are written creatively (with the sensation of a 'story', as opposed to a perfunctory re-telling of events). I do not critique other non-fiction.
Do you accept scripts?
I studied a course of script-writing at university and am happy to critique scripts for stage and screen.
What if my word count does not neatly fit into your outlined packages?
If your word-count is less than or more than any of my packages, please message me and I'm sure we can arrange a bespoke offer which suits both parties.
What if your package offers 'feedback report' but I need a sample line edit?
I can provide a general detailed feedback report, or a more comprehensive sample line edit for any word-count between 5,000 and 25,000 words. Please message me if your requirements do not exactly fit into the outline on my advertised packages - I am happy to create a bespoke package.
