Can’t finish your proposal? Don’t know where to start on your book?

I’ve been an editor for over twenty years. I’m also a published, award-winning writer who’s worked for a literary agent and sold books at weekends, giving me a bird’s eye view of the business. My job is to seamlessly, invisibly, help you create the kind of book you want to write.

We’re swamped with conflicting or very generalised writing advice, which is why I prefer to work one to one with writers to deepen, connect up, and polish books and proposals. Nonfiction is my jam – I’ve written and edited both mainstream and academic texts, and have clients in both camps and the crossover in between.

These are the packages I offer for coaching, developmental edits, and copyediting.

STARTING

Can I write a book? Is my idea worthwhile? 

Send me your brainstorms and meet me for an introductory session online. This package is for embryonic projects rather than those with a substantial amount of text.

80 EUR (plus Swedish VAT at 25%).

FINISHING TOUCH

Copyediting for finished texts. This is for final drafts and does not involve feedback on structure or content.

0.02 EUR per word (plus Swedish VAT at 25%).

STOPPED?

Help! My project has stalled! I need professional feedback and accountability! 

I’ll provide detailed feedback on your book or proposal and we’ll meet online for an introductory session.

0.04 EUR per word (plus Swedish VAT at 25%).

DIG IN 

I provide detailed developmental edit notes on your book or proposal so far.

0.04 EUR per word (plus Swedish VAT at 25%).

MOMENTUM

I want to maintain accountability.

Further feedback sessions to build on the introductory session.

0.03 EUR per word for new material, and 0.01 EUR per word for material on which I’ve previously given feedback (plus Swedish VAT at 25%).

VAT

If you have a VAT number and are undertaking the mentoring or edit as a business expense, please let me know.
