Editor & Author

Hi writer!

If you’re looking for an editor, chances are you’re in one of three stages. You’re either cobbling together an early draft and trying to remember what your story is even about, wrangling a manuscript you know isn’t perfect but you can’t figure out why, or you’re getting ready for publication/querying and praying what you’ve got is good enough.

As a writer, I’ve been through every stage of the journey. As an editor, I’m here to help you get through them. I offer friendly and personalised editorial services, from readers reports and developmental editing to in-depth line edits and the final proofread.

A line drawing of a table with a plate of food, a fork, a glass of wine, a coffee cup, a small bowl, a dish with food, and a small vase with a flower, on a tablecloth with a corner visible.

A gondolier starts to fall for his passenger, who is only passing through. Their ensuing situationship is as heady as it is unwise. He’s never going to leave, and she was never meant to stay. As life in the city pushes and pulls at their growing bond, they both must decide what love is worth when it’s bound to be bittersweet.

It’s Emily in Paris, meets Fleabag.

Or an Emily Henry novel, but with a La La Land ending.

Contemporary, romantic (but NOT a romance), and complete at 95K.
