The author of ten published books (eight novels and two acclaimed short story collections), I have over fifteen years' editing and proofreading experience. In that time, I've worked with all kinds of different writers - from first-time authors to the far more established - writing in all kinds of different genres: literary, historical, thriller, YA, romance, sci-fi/fantasy, etc. I'm a huge fan of short-form fiction - both as a reader and a writer - and would be the ideal editor to help your work fulfil its potential. In terms of my working practices, I will edit your short stories in three stages. Firstly, a basic edit to eradicate any typos, grammatical lapses, the repetition of words/phrases, etc. Secondly, a more developmental edit focusing on pacing, plot, structure, tone, voice, character development/arcs, etc. And thirdly, a final read-through to ensure your work has that essential professional polish. Additionally, I will provide an interim assessment of the manuscript within twenty-four hours of receipt, just to give you my first impressions of your writing and let you know what kinds of changes I'm making to the early stories in the collection. I use Track Changes in Word and can make a start right away. I look forward to hearing from you.
