Make your writing really shine…

Developmental editing for speculative fiction authors.

You’ve spent months, maybe years, on your manuscript. You’ve written, deleted, rewritten and restructured. You’ve messaged your critique partners and writing friends in despair, convinced that you’ll never finish. You’ve given up a dozen times, but always come back to it, compelled, knowing your story is worth telling. 

And now it’s done. You’ve written ‘The End’ for that final time. You sit back in your chair, look at your work and wonder… ‘What now?’ 

Firstly, congratulations!

Take a moment to recognise your monumental achievement. Writing is HARD. And you did the thing. Well done.

Now it’s time to relax and let someone else help. Someone with the skills, expertise and enthusiasm to support and guide you through the process of finessing your manuscript and making it as captivating as possible. 

It’s time for your story to sparkle.

Kind words from my clients

Hi, I’m Alexandra!

If you’re looking for an experienced, sympathetic editor who understands the trials and tribulations of writing and publishing, then you’ve come to the right place.

However, if you’re looking for tough love, then I’m afraid I’m not the editor for you.

I firmly believe that you should come away from your developmental editing experience renewed, reinvigorated, and reinspired, and feeling like you’ve fallen in love with your manuscript all over again.

My aim is not only to highlight where you can improve, but champion where you’re already excelling. I understand that your work is more than just words on a page; it is a labour of love, and I am passionate about helping you to craft it into the best book it can be.

The path from first draft to publishable is a long, arduous one, but I attempt to make the journey enjoyable and empowering.

To learn more about me and what I can do for you, see my About page.

It can be difficult to know if an editor will be a good fit for your writing. Feel free to contact me with the details of your project - we can discuss your needs and I can give you an idea of how I work.
