FOR AUTHORS

Get your story out there, without stressing about the commas.

When we write some things can get in the way of a good story or piece of non-fiction writing. After spending hours writing and researching we get too close to our own work.

A developmental edit will make sure your structure is sound, copyediting and line editing knock your writing into shape, and proofreading catches those last few errors that have sneaked through before publication.

My professional editorial services are there to make you look good and give you confidence in your writing.

the prose is trying to say.

HISTORICAL STORYTELLING

FOR INDEPENDENT BUSINESSES

How about a little bit of historical research or writing? If you love a bit of storytelling as a way of connecting with your audience, and you have a unique story to tell, research into your building and its early inhabitants can add an extra level of interest.

If you have an old document that you haven’t been able to read my transcription service can help. Or perhaps you have a photograph that you know nothing about, I can help with that too.
