⭐️ Hello! I have coaching spots currently available, but I am booked out for editing work for the rest of 2026. Please use my contact form if you would like to go on my waiting list for 2027.

 

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 and publishers in Australia, New Zealand, the UK and USA.

I am a Professional IPEd member, a Partner Member of ALLi, a CIEP UK member, and can work in Australian, British and American English. I am also on the board of the Words on the Waves Writers Festival.
