Editing Services

Helping your writing take shape…

I work with writers and students individually and sometimes in creative writing workshops. I will work with you on your book, screenplay, article, essay, or any other writing you need to produce. I can help you to build it up, or to pare it down. Bring me your raw material and I will transform it into concise, fluent, interesting prose, while retaining your voice. I help you to clarify and deliver your message; I act as a sounding board; I listen, offer suggestions, improvements and guidance. I pay close attention to content and flow, as well as to grammar, punctuation and style. My aim is to encourage and inspire. Contact me, and bring a trained eye and ear to your writing. Yes, you need to listen to writing too!

If you're writing fiction, I advise on how to advance the plot, develop the characters, bring the dialogue alive, and arrange the chapters to the best advantage.

If you're writing non-fiction, I advise on how best to tell the story and on how to put it together.

Constant updates: As we progress, I edit it for grammar, style and content. When the project is complete I do a final edit.

I've edited a number of books, and many essays and articles. I am a careful editor with a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the English language. I edit both for content and flow, being careful always to retain the author's voice, and to advance the author's intention. I will bring your work up to a professional standard.
