I am the author of five novels and a freelance literary consultant and developmental editor for several of the UK’s leading literary consultancies, providing editorial reports, developmental editing and manuscript assessments.
My clients range from Cuba to Canada, Spain to Surrey, as I assess manuscripts with a cold eye and a feel for the market.
My latest success was Tom Weaver, who made it to number one on Amazon US in Techothrillers. Tom is now published by Del Rey and Transworld. Work for Tom was booked through the services of Jacqui Lofthouse @ thewritingcoach.co.uk, a company I highly recommend. They have fantastic courses and editors, and are a one stop shop for all your coaching needs. thewritingcoach.co.uk,
I’m also the developmental editor and manuscript assessor for Neil Broadfoot, winner of the Dundee International Book Prize, and longlisted for 2019 Scottish Crime Book of the Year. Neil’s crime series of six books is published by Hachette. I have his latest book ‘Exit Wounds’ under editorial development for Neil, which will be completed and sent to Hachette.
