Meet your editor
Hello! I’m Louise. I live in beautiful Derbyshire in the UK, and I’ve been writing all my life and editing professionally for over a decade.
My passion is to help writers of all kinds to feel confident about the quality of their work. I offer bespoke, sensitive and constructive editorial guidance, meeting writers where they are to work with them on their manuscripts prior to publication.
I believe that all writers deserve to feel proud of their work, and I will do everything I can to help them achieve this.
