I will edit up to 2000 words plus synopsis and query letter

I have been helping authors with their novels and short stories since 2008 in various capacities including editing, proofreading and providing general feedback on every kind of fiction. I have helped writers who have then gone on to self-publish, or get traditional publishing deals. I am 'firm but fair' and don't expect you to agree with everything I suggest but I am confident that it will help you not only with the piece you submit but with your writing ongoing.

For novelists, I also help with your novel's synopsis and query letters and providing guidance with one synopsis (max. two pages) and one letter is included in this offer.

I teach several creative writing courses (for Northamptonshire County Council's Adult Learning sector - evenings / Saturdays - and online), and you can be assured that I will provide constructive rather than purely positive feedback on your writing. I am also a writer (of 400+ short stories and nine novels) so I know what it takes to put stories together!

Do let me know if you have any queries or need further information.
