Editorial Services

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, all trying to make their work best it can, and assessing 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 and his agent are now in discussion with major agencies in New York and LA.

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.
