For writers
Struggling to get your book finished?
If you’ve written the first draft of your manuscript but need some advice about how well it works, you need developmental editing.
Or if you have some great ideas but are struggling to get them down, then writing coaching might be for you.
Either way, I can help!
Written your book already?
Whatever you’re writing, it’s always a great idea to have another pair of eyes looking over it to catch any problems. Unfortunately, our human brains see what we think we’ve written, not what we’ve actually written.
This is where a proofreader comes in! I can check whatever you have written for typos or incorrect punctuation, to make sure your reader is not put off your message by seeing the mistakes.
If you are a bit insecure about your writing, I can do a more thorough copyedit to make sure you communicate to your reader as effectively as possible. I also offer a package which combines developmental editing with copy editing.
Not sure what you need?
Contact me and we can discuss your work so far. My specialism is the arts and humanities, but I have worked with everyone from lawyers to nurses!
‘Claire edited my life story. She was very quick and came up with a number of good suggestions which greatly improved my story. She is great to work with.’ (Mike R., memoir writer)
