Here’s Why You Will Love to Work With Me

Let me start by addressing book awards. I don’t have any—because my focus for over 15 years has been behind the scenes in the world of book editing and publishing of my successful writer husband, Alan Forrest Smith, alongside other select writers to help bring their stories to life. I have produced and published amost 30 books through the period from initial concept to publication and marketing and selling. 

I have also been writing almost daily for my businesses, creating hundreds of articles, guides, podcasts, videos, and anything that requires writing words. More recently, my work has expanded to include ghostwriting, developmental editing, and publishing across various genres.

I intentionally take on a very limited number of book projects each year. This allows me to dedicate the time, energy, and fresh perspective your book needs to succeed.

If you are looking to work with someone backed by a large corporate structure, I am not the right person to work with, but if you have tried and had enough of navigating layers of office politics or appreciate being independent that allows for highly skilled, professional, yet personal and approachable service that I can offer you will love to work with me. With years of experience working alongside writers and in the publishing industry, I deeply understand the emotions, effort, and dedication—the blood, sweat, and tears—that go into creating a book. My goal is to ensure your vision of becoming an author becomes a reality.

  • Personalised Service: I completely understand that you, as a writer, are unique and sensitive to your work. I take the time to get to know your writing style and your vision for the book.

  • Experienced Editor: From fiction and memoirs to self-help and business writing, we have been writing and editing books since 2009. I have mastered the art of writing across all genres, you can be confident your manuscript is in the right hands. 

  • Flexible Packages: Whether you're looking for a full manuscript rewrite or a final polish, I can offer the right package to get the job done.

How Much Does it Cost To Edit My Book?

(VERY)Rough Guide is: Starting at £5,000 (this NOT a quote - fee given only after consultation - more about fees here) Our fees will range widely and are also based per project and therefore fixed.
