Overview
An Australian, based in France, with 20 years experience working for non-fiction publishing houses in Sydney and London. I made the transition six years ago to editing fiction as well.
I have many US, Canadian and British clients. I can edit in both US and UK English.
I love working with indie authors and I have a great deal of experience copy/line editing and proofreading both fiction and non-fiction titles. I can provide samples of books I've worked on in the following genres: time travel, sci-fi, thriller, horror, memoir, comic fiction, business and many more!
I am a highly skilled editor, extremely thorough, and incredibly reliable. I take on projects I am passionate about and I feel that passion is evident in my work. I'm easy to work with and you can be guaranteed I will immerse myself in your manuscript (and probably fall in love with some of your characters).
