About

I’ve always had a passion for the written word and have spent a great deal of my life reading anything I can get my hands on from Sci-Fi, to PNR, to sweet women’s fiction. I love anything with more than a hint of romance and live for a good HEA.

When I’m not escaping into the fictional world, I’m reading books on craft, or writing blogs to support authors in improving their craft. You can also find me in social media groups interacting with the author and reader community and, of course, talking about … books.

My approach to editing

What makes books so interesting and exciting for me is the different styles and approaches to writing. And my personal editing style reflects that feeling. I believe, as your editor, my job is to edit with care and empathy and work together with you to help your manuscript shine—without changing your voice.

I will leave suggestions and information in your manuscript for you to consider, with clear explanations to the reason behind my changes so you can make an informed decision as to whether it is the right change for your author voice.

I am a member of CIEP (Chartered Institute of Editors and Proofreaders), so you can be assured that you are working with an editor who adheres to standards set by professional bodies.

What Clients Are Saying About Me

Charlotte, when I was going through your notes and edits I got a little bit snively. 🤣 After the second chapter I felt confident to abandon the red document and go straight to the all versions accepted. Your recommendations were on point. (I accepted 99.99% of your recommendations.) Your movement of text to better locations was incredible and the way you have made my writing shine, the showing versus telling… OMG. That was the easiest editing experience I've ever had. So thank you very much.

You've done such and amazing job, and I love your editing style so much.

I cannot thank you enough. You are incredible. Thank you for putting up with my insanity—and the extreme wordcount of this book. Even when I pushed my release date, you stuck with me to get this finished and it's amazing. Everything I dreamed it would be.
