About me
Hi there! Stories are my life's passion, and since graduating from Durham University I have worked successfully with many authors, both published and aspiring, to help them bring their manuscripts to their full potential, whilst still retaining their unique creative voices. I have also written articles for First Time Buyer magazine, and have been credited with Assistant Editor on several issues. I am also currently working with clients in Japan to edit and polish their translated work. My inbox is always open for any queries, great or small! Looking forward to hearing from you. ...

    This was the second review after I incorporated Fiona's feedback from the first one, and I eventually followed quite a lot of Fiona's recommendations. I don't have a ton of experience, but I worked with a few editors and I feel very comfortable with Fiona and learned very quickly how to make the best...

    Without question, I would recommend Fiona as an editor. As a first time writer, she was gracious and understanding while still being professional and giving me wonderfully helpful notes and directions in my writing. She is both specific in her suggestions and also able to give a great overall view of...

    Fiona went above and beyond to provide in depth feedback for my Novel. She provided editing for every chapter, character reviews, a plot review, an overall review of my book and more. Her feedback has given me the direction I needed to make my book what I want it to be. My Novel was nearly 130,000 words...

    Fiona was incredible to work with. She was prompt with delivery and from the very beginning was proactive and responded quickly to all of my questions. She even offered to review the first chapter of my novella at no charge so I could get a sense of her editing skills, and that really built trust right...

    Fiona was simply fantastic to work with. I sent her my short story and she couldn't have been more helpful, from her communication when I reached out, to the in-depth feedback that showed a deep understanding of the story and the areas that I needed to improve upon. I could not have been more pleased...
