Editorial Services

We offer a selection of affordable editorial services to support emerging, student, working class, and/or marginalised writers in accessing professional editorial feedback and mentoring. Everyone is welcome to use our services! There are no invasive questions about your background or finances. Your support allows us to 'pay it forward' and help others.

Writers emerge at any age, and from any background. Not all of them have the ability to access higher education; and even those who have a MA often discover a lack of editorial resources in preparing their work for publication. Not only that, but the reduction of arts funding and spiralling costs of living have had a negative impact on current and future generations of writers. We want a future that includes all voices, not just the fortunate ones.

What we offer: Professional story analysis and structural feedback for Fiction, Nonfiction, Poetry, and Scripts. Our professionals provide you with a tailored blue print for revision and/or further advice about story structure. This is more in depth and detailed than typical feedback that focuses on 'vibes' and first impressions.

For professional authors and small presses. Our EIC Hanna Nielson is a professional freelance editor, specialising in Fiction, NonFiction, and Scripts - from Structural Editing, Developmental Editing, Copy Editing, and Proofreading.
