After ten years working at major publishing houses including Penguin Random House and HarperCollins, I’m now a freelance editor and book coach based in leafy north London.

Hello, I’m Katie.

Editorial Services

Manuscript Assessment

An editorial letter focusing on the broad strokes and commercial viability of your project, ideal if you’re a first-time writer or at an early stage.

Development Editing

Comprehensive feedback in an editorial letter and marked-up manuscript, perfect if you feel like you’ve taken the manuscript as far as you can.

One-to-Ones

One-hour consultations to help you develop your idea, coach you through the writing process or advise on querying agents.

Portfolio

The highlight of being an editor is seeing a manuscript you’ve helped an author to develop and edit now a finished book sitting on a bookshop shelf and enjoyed by readers everywhere. I’m proud to have worked on a range of award-winning and bestselling books from a host of brilliant authors.

Katie is like a Fairy Godmother for authors.
— Michelle Rawlins, bestselling author
