How can I help you get your book ready for readers?
* Currently taking bookings for June 2023 onwards *
Reach out for a sample edit or quote
If you write fantasy, historical fiction, or mythology, I’d love to hear more about your work.
Do you need a final check for typos and other errors or a thorough look at plot and point of view? Let me know what your editing goals are.
If you’re not sure, check out my services or ask in the message. I’ll aim to get back to you in 2 to 3 working days.
If you plan to write “urgent” in your message, I’m not the right editor for you. I never stall, but rushed jobs mean you miss out on quality thinking time.
I respect your privacy and will only use your email address to reply to your message. Please see my privacy policy.
With the exception of free samples of 1,000 words, I ask clients for a non-refundable booking fee. This is to secure a slot in my schedule and is deducted from the final invoice. Please refer to my terms and conditions for more information.
“Absolutely brilliant. Very hard working, detail oriented, and punctual. Joanne keeps you updated on everything and understood my book very well. It was so easy to work with her, and she surpassed my expectations. An absolute delight to work with and very willing to learn about your project and understand your objectives.”
— Anon, fiction & non-fiction mythology author
“I really value Joanne’s contribution to my book. Her outside perspective helped me to pull out the real threads of my story and flesh them out, steering me in the most compelling direction for my readers. She made suggestions that I hadn’t thought of, and asked thoughtful questions that made me think about my story in new ways, so I could get to the heart of what I was trying to say. I would recommend her to anyone who requires a thoughtful editor to give honest and considered feedback.”
— Frances, fiction & memoir author
