“Lauren approached my manuscript with great care and sensitivity, preserving my voice while polishing and fine-tuning the prose. Her edits demonstrated an attention to detail I simply couldn’t replicate for my own work, and every suggested change was clearly explained.
She was warm, thoughtful, and encouraging every step of the way – frequently highlighting parts of the book she loved amidst the tracked changes! There is no doubt that Lauren’s input has elevated the quality of my latest novel, and I am incredibly grateful for all her efforts to make Whiskey Sour shine.
Lauren has always been one of my favourite writers and it is no surprise that she is also an exceptional editor. I can’t recommend her enough.”
Writing a book? Getting ready to query agents, or publish independently? I’ll help to whip your manscript into shape, and make your story the best it can be before it goes out into the world.
From initial feedback and structural notes to a detailed line and copy edit, I provide editorial services to prospective and existing authors based on my own years of experience.
As the author of four books, published by three of the Big Five houses and sold in multiple territories, I’ve been in the industry for a decade and have learned a thing or two about making your work stand out amid a vast sea of hopeful authors. I’ve also worked as a commissioning and managing editor on several media sites, and am obsessive about using language in the most effective way possible, to make your story shine.
Like my novels, my specialist area is women’s commercial and upmarket/book club fiction with humorous leanings. But I’m also a romance reader, and happy to turn my hand to editing any genre – try me!
