Let’s get your writing ready for its readers

I’m an accredited editor with 15+ years of experience. If you’re looking to take your work to the next level, I can help.

You’ve finished the first draft of your novel – or you’re stuck with a partly written manuscript.

Maybe you’re getting ready to submit a completed manuscript to an agent or publisher.

Or perhaps you’re self-publishing and want to achieve the highest standards of expression and presentation.

I help writers get their work ready for an audience by providing frank, detailed, supportive feedback and meticulous editing to make text as strong and engaging as it can be. Explore how we can work together to maximise your prospects for success.

Sees things that you, as an author, won't

“I've had a good many editors over the years. Few were as considerate of the author, as well as having a sharp eye for how to make a manuscript appeal more to its target readership. James sees things that you, as an author, won't.”
