Writing is personal. Editing should honour that.
My work is about helping you say what you mean with clarity, rhythm, and intention, without losing the voice that makes your writing yours.
This portfolio brings together a series of demonstration edits that show how I support writers across fiction, memoir, and creative nonfiction. These samples are original passages created solely for illustration, allowing you to see how I refine prose, shape pace, and strengthen meaning while preserving tone and character. I never share client work; confidentiality is a cornerstone of my practice.
Every manuscript is its own conversation. Sometimes the writing needs tightening, sometimes space to breathe, sometimes a shift in emphasis or flow. These examples offer a glimpse into how that conversation looks on the page: gentle, attentive, and focused on bringing out the best in your work.
If you’d like to understand how I might approach your manuscript, you’re welcome to request a complimentary 500-word sample edit.
What Writers Say
Writers come to editing with different goals: clarity, confidence, precision, or reassurance that their voice is coming through as intended. The feedback below reflects the way I work: attentive, honest, and grounded in respect for the writer and the work itself.
“After reading the critique, I realised just how essential an experienced, objective perspective is — something you simply can’t achieve through self-review or feedback from friends and family.”
— Memoirist
“Her edits helped me improve the prose without losing its period feel. Her notes were clear, thoughtful, and often illuminated things I hadn’t even realised I’d missed.”
— Historical fiction writer
She helped me understand what was working, what wasn’t, and why. Her notes were generous, and she is kind. I felt seen and encouraged.”
