I have worked as a freelance editor since 2015, with a resume that includes literary fiction, sci-fi/fantasy, LGBTQ+ literature, romance, mystery/thrillers, academic publications, creative nonfiction, poetry, and film and television. I work with indie authors and traditional publishers alike, from small presses to the big five, and am the copyeditor of the International Journal of Islamic Architecture.
My indie clients range from experienced, award-winning authors, to new writers looking for guidance through the editing process, and include Pulitzer Prize nominees, first-time fantasy authors, family historians, and film critics.
A writer myself, with a Master’s in Creative Writing from the University of Edinburgh, I'm currently working on a queer-themed novel set in 1980s Aotearoa. I'm passionate about editing—I want to help authors create something splendid, something of which they can be proud.
I believe that a good editor works to strengthen the voice of the author and the power of the manuscript.
