About this Gig
I have three traditionally published novels; I know how to write an addictive story with fascinating characters; I know how to craft a compelling novel.
When your writing a novel, it can be so hard keeping all of your ideas straight, especially when taking them from your head and placing them onto the page. I know how how easy it is to get too inside your story and be unable to see the bigger picture, to get held up on the little details and get stuck inside your own head.
I know how to untangle these messes. I know how to write a novel.
I'll read your writing and tell you what works and what doesn't. I'll help you get your ideas on paper exactly as you want them.
I'll use my publishing experience to help you write the novel of your dreams.

FAQ
What genres do you specialise in?
My number one speciality is literary fiction: it's what I write, as well as mainly what I read, so it's what I know. I also specialise in romance and horror, but I'm very comfortable beta reading any genre!
What kind of report do you provide?
I generallyformat my report to have four sections: overall thoughts, what's good, what needs improving, and my recommendations. However, I'm always open to suggestions on how to improve, and always happy to collaborate with authors to provide feedback in other ways!
Do you use beta readers for your writing?
I do! In fact, in my forthcoming second novel BELONGING I thank a beta reader in the acknowledgements. I had written the same Christmas taking place twice, and hadn't spotted it until my beta reader pointed it out. I know the importance of a good beta reading as much as anyone!

A good overview of opening paragraphs and gave me some pointers on places to improve. Very good at highlighting what works and what doesn't, would have been happy with a bit more criticism, though.
