I work with aspiring and established authors from across the globe, from my home on the picturesque Central Coast on Australia’s eastern seaboard.

My job is to make your manuscript the best it can be. I love what I do, and I’m good at it! I’m calm, friendly, supportive and have a dry sense of humour. I have empathy and imagination, and will work with you to help you take your novel where you want it to go – whether that is to a small group of people, or the world.

My clients include: aspiring authors, independent (self-published) authors, Allen & Unwin, Bookouture, Brio Books, Echo Publishing, HarperCollins, Harpeth Road Press, Pantera Press, Penguin Random House, Simon & Schuster.

I am a Professional IPEd member.
