Anna Davidson created a really friendly, inclusive atmosphere. It was amazing to hear her perspective and have access to her decades of experience and insider knowledge . . . I can safely say [this course] was worth every penny.

I'm an editorial trainer for Get Into Book Publishing – find my courses on their website. Their highly respected programme is supported by some of the biggest names in UK publishing. I'm also a tutor for the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading, on their Introduction to Fiction Editing and Editorial Project Management courses.

If you'd like me to run a workshop for you, for writers or editors, please get in touch. Past clients include the Bristol Writing Festival, Forthwrite Festival Brighton, Blue Pencil Agency Literary Consultants. I cover editorial skills, the editing and publishing process, traditional publishing and self-publishing.

You can find testimonials here from people who have done my previous courses. 

Are you a writer who would like your work to find readers – but you're not sure how? You can book a one-to-one consultancy session with me. I will read 3000 words of your manuscript in order to then have an informed in-depth conversation with you about the best way forward, drawing on my broad and deep understanding of editing and publishing. We can explore what editing work is required and consider the traditional and indie publishing routes, to help you decide what is right for you and your book. I also offer mentoring.
