Making a book is a tricky thing. Rewarding, challenging, interesting, even fun, but also tricky! If you're making a book and think you might need help - whether that's knowing where to start, or a spit and polish before sending your manuscript into the world - I'd like to assist.

I've editorial experience ranging from project management of anthologies for indie presses, to editing and typesetting for literary magazines.

Beginner Mentoring & Advice

If you're just starting out, I can provide 1-hour advice sessions, either over video-call, or in person if you're local to Glasgow. These general mentoring sessions are intended to build your confidence in tackling the project, to help you navigate the journey from manuscript to publication, and bring clarity to the direction you'd like to take the project. If the project happens to be a novel, this would also include feedback on a synopsis (2 pages maximum).

1 X 1hr session: £30

Editing & Proofreading

On the other hand, if you have some or all of a manuscript ready, I can provide the above, alongside a written report on tone, tense, flow, plot, pacing, point of view, characterisation - all the good stuff that goes into a stand-out book. Reports would have a turnaround time of two weeks.

Up to 50,000 words: £4 per 1000 words.

Up to 100,000 words: £5 per 1000 words.

Anything longer, get in touch and we can discuss!
