What's your story?

Books don’t get written alone.

We need trusted allies to guide us along the way.

​​​​A sense of support and community in any creative work we're undertaking can often mean the difference between giving up and keeping going.

​

I offer personalised editorial services tailored to your specific writing needs.

I work across Fiction, Non-fiction, memoir, and short stories, across multiple genres, and welcome all writers, at any level of experience, writing in English.​

 

Whether you’re already a published author or just starting out, whether you're writing for pleasure or with a commercial aim, I will give your words the same undivided commitment and attention.

​

All my services are designed to help you make your writing project the very best it can be, while remaining true to your story and creative vision.

​

What are you in need of?


Each part of the editing process is different but equally important. Whatever stage of development you’re at, I can meet you there, and provide you with a professional, independent editorial overview.

Let's make your writing sing, from first to last page.​​​​​​

My Offerings

If you're after an honest, detailed, and constructive response to your work, this is a great place to start.

A more rigorous and hands-on style of edit than a Manuscript Assessment, the focus is on the big picture of your book.

If you’ve already had your manuscript assessed and have a typeset final draft, this is the perfect service to put the final polish on your words so they really shine.

"Hannah’s services in reworking some of my prose has been invaluable. She has a clear and excellent eye for detail and editing. After looking at one of my short stories Cake Baby, it went on to win second place in the London Writer’s Salon competition. I can't thank her enough. She has also provided excellent ideas and critique in the multiple stages of writing my novel. I trust Hannah with my words and feel incredibly lucky to be able to work with such a talented and generous editor. I would recommend her services to anyone who wants to write and get the work to its highest standard possible."
