i. Editing
Structural and line editing for fiction and non-fiction — from a single chapter to a full manuscript. Clear, honest notes on what is working, what isn’t, and precisely how to fix it, always in service of your voice rather than mine.

§ 01 — The service
Two ways of working, one aim: your best book.
ii. Creative coaching
One-to-one coaching for writers developing an idea, a draft, or the habit itself — shape, momentum, and the confidence to finish. We can meet face-to-face in London.
Every manuscript is different, so fees are estimated per project. Write to me with a line or two about yours and I’ll send an estimate.
