What I can offer
Whether it is a cookery book or an information book for patients, a wedding organiser or a wellbeing guide, your book has a unique style and impact, and a targeted objective to reach a specific audience and improve their lifestyle in some way.
Some authors need very little help in realising the full potential of their words. Many need a little guidance and support or some gentle coaxing and encouragement. Some may know their subject but be less confident in exactly how to get their message across.
I am a writer and creative editor with many years’ experience of working mainly on high-quality books for the lifestyle, wellbeing, health and leisure markets, specialising in cookery.
Combining a flexible and accessible writing style, the ability to polish someone's written language while maintaining its essence, editorial skills, experience and plenty of practical common sense, I can help you take your project successfully from concept to completion.
- as a writer to develop and write a book from scratch
- as a development editor to work with the author to help them structure and complete their work
- as a troubleshooter to take a less-than-successful manuscript and transform it into a work the author can be proud of
- as a specialist to finalise all the detail necessary to make a cookery manuscript suitable for a global market
- as a copyeditor to polish a high-quality manuscript
I supply elegant and creative solutions to editorial problems.
