Whether you plan to pursue traditional publication or self-publish, it is essential that your book is professionally edited.
In addition to being an author and historian, I am a certified copyeditor and proofreader, having completed my training at the College of Media and Publishing.
I specialise in editing historical books and academic texts, including journal articles and dissertations. My area of expertise is fifteenth- and sixteenth-century England, with a particular focus on the Tudor court and the Wars of the Roses, and a special emphasis on women’s history.
I also work with novelists and am happy to edit historical fiction.
Services Offered

Copyediting rates are based on page count and the level of editing required. I provide a free sample edit of 10 pages so that I can assess the level of work needed and you can become familiar with my editing style.
Copyediting fees range from $3.00 to $7.00 per page (based on standard industry formatting: A4, double-spaced, 12-point font, 1-inch margins), depending on the level of editing required.
