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.

    While Fiona was professional and kind, her feedback was less helpful than I had hoped. Her review was incredibly fast, both a pro and a con.

    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.
