About me
I'm Sarah based in the UK. Taking a break from a career as an operating theatre nurse, I completed a BA in English Literature and a MA in Creative Writing. This was an extension of a life-long love of reading and writing. I discovered a passion for editing and giving thoughtful feedback to enable other writers, so they can produce their best work. I'm experienced in editing short stories, novels and query letters. I offer feedback and editing at all levels of story writing, and in most genres. Contact me for more details.... Read more

    Sarah has gone above and beyond my expectations. Her notes on my opening chapter were thoughtful, encouraging and detailed. She went completely over the call of duty and her attention to detail cannot be beaten. She spotted the tiniest of errors and made some really useful suggestions for swapping out...

    Hi hired Sarah to copy edit my novel. She delivered detailed notes back within the timeframe. Some of the notes were obvious, typo's, grammatical errors but many of them were plot or character enhancements that were very useful. She's helping me bring my novel to life. I will definitely be using Sarah again. 5 stars.

    Sarah was exceptional. I asked for a developmental edit for my novel. She delivered her comments and suggestions within the time frame. Her thoughts were comprehensive and thorough. I will be implementing most of them into my novel and hopefully she will be happy for me to hire her again for the next stage of editing. Would definitely recommend.
