I’m a developmental and line editor specializing in literary and upmarket fiction. With an MA in Creative Writing from Kingston University (distinction, course prize) and 20 years’ experience as a journalist at Sky Sports, I bring both craft expertise and editorial precision to manuscript development.

I work with writers to strengthen narrative structure, deepen character, and refine prose at the sentence level. My approach balances critical insight with respect for the author’s vision. I help you make your book the best version of itself, not turn it into something else.

I’ve worked with writers at all stages, from early drafts needing structural overhaul to polished manuscripts ready for agent submission. I understand the publishing landscape and can help position your work for the market.

I’m based in Abu Dhabi and work remotely with writers worldwide.
