Welcome to Storyline Editing. My aim is to bring out the very best in a writer’s work, and I believe every great book, whether fiction or non-fiction, starts with a great story. So what’s your story?

Whether you are a publisher looking to develop a book from scratch or just to give it that finishing touch, or a writer who needs professional expertise to lift your work to the next level, I can help you. Look through my range of services from the options below, which include developmental and structural editing, copy-editing, proofreading, manuscript assessment and ghostwriting.
