WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

“Bryony is a truly wonderful editor. She’s thorough, meticulous, and knowledgeable. Even better, she has that rare, highly sought-after talent of editing while keeping in-line with both the author and character voice...”

PROFESSIONAL COPY EDITING & PROOFREADING

FOR SELF-PUBLISHING AUTHORS

Hello and welcome!

 

I’m a full-time fiction editor and published writer offering friendly, professional book editing services to authors on all routes to publication. I live in England, but I’m experienced at copyediting and proofreading both US English and British English, and I enjoy helping authors adapt their work to suit their preferred style.

 

My primary focus lies in your words and ensuring clarity. I edit only what’s necessary to give your writing a professional polish. I believe in a lighter touch where possible to deliver accuracy and consistency, which means I’ll adapt to your writing style and take the utmost care not to impose my own voice on your work. To me, the mark of a good quality editor is one who leaves no mark—and that’s a skill only acquired through hands-on experience, plenty of training, and a big dose of word nerdery! You can read more about my editorial services here.

 

I have more than a decade of experience writing and editing fiction. I’m a Professional Member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading, ACES: The Society For Editing, and the Editorial Freelancers Association, all of which I regularly train with. I’m readily available 5 days a week to reply to my clients’ emails, share advice, and cheerlead for the authors whose books I edit. This is what I love to do, and I pride myself on offering an attentive, professional book editing service for authors who want to publish a book they’re genuinely proud of.
