I can take you on the journey from first idea to finished MS. I can mentor you through the long and challenging task of bringing a book to fruition, and then finding an agent and publisher – or undertaking self-publishing.
As an experienced editor I can structural edit, style edit and copy edit your work.
For self-publishing I can advise on design, layout and marketing.
Writing a book is also a journey of personal discovery. As your mentor I will be at your side – for I, too, have made this journey many times.
TS Eliot’s final words in The Four Quartets.
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
