Welcome to my website! If you want to take your writing to the next level, you are in the right place. As a trained proofreader and editor, I help authors, travel writers and publishers transform raw drafts into polished, publication-ready text.
My approach combines technical precision with a deep, personal understanding of the genres I specialise in. Having walked many miles on rugged hiking trails, explored vast fantasy realms as a reader and written my own self-published book, Adventure Dayze, I do not just check your grammar. I understand the unique rhythm of travel storytelling, the practicalities of outdoor writing and the intricate world-building required for epic fantasy and science fiction.
Whether you are self-publishing a fantasy or sci-fi novel, formatting a detailed hiking itinerary, or preparing a travel manuscript for review, I ensure your words hit the page exactly as you intended.
Let us eliminate the distractions of typos and inconsistencies so your readers stay completely immersed in your world.
I offer meticulous proofreading services to ensure your travelogues, hiking guides, fantasy manuscripts and science fiction epics are polished and shine with clarity.
Whether you are sharing breathtaking landscapes, wild adventures, fantastical worlds or exploring the vast reaches of space, I will help your writing reach its full potential.
This is the final quality check before publication. I scan your text with microscopic precision to eliminate any remaining typos, layout issues, spelling slips and grammatical errors, while ensuring it adheres to the style guide you use
This process focuses on the core mechanics of your writing. I look closely at sentence structure, pacing, tone consistency and character or narrative flow to ensure your story reads beautifully.
Being in the Great Outdoors is great for the mind, body and soul. And the even better news? It need not involve much more than putting on a pair of trainers and heading out your front door.
In Adventure Dayze, I recount my hiking experiences in Britain and Ireland with my friends, including overcoming limitations walking at altitude and having a dodgy sense of direction!
This book aims to help you get started… or, if you are a seasoned hiker, to encourage you to hike with renewed vigour. This story shares insights and discusses the benefits of hiking, including fitness, friendship, courage, mental health and… err… the joy of eating.
Adventure Dayze will inspire you to overcome your limitations and get outdoors to enjoy all the unique beauty that is on offer. Even the pandemic lockdowns did not suppress my exploration; as I found out, there are many ways to bring the outdoors inside when there is no other choice.
Here you will find my latest insights on editing, publishing, hiking and travel reports, and creative writing.
