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 have run many training courses for novice and aspiring writers and editors – both in-house at major publishers and at writing festivals. I'm a tutor for the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading's Introduction to Fiction Editing and Editorial Project Management courses. 

I also regularly deliver training courses via Get Into Book Publishing whose highly respected programme is actively supported by some of the biggest names in UK publishing.  

Introduction to Editorial is for career-changers and students or graduates who are interested in discovering whether an editorial career is for them. 

Understanding Self-Publishing is for writers or anybody else who would like an entry-level guide to this thriving area of the industry. 

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 up to 5000 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.

Working in the publishing industry can be lonely and/or challenging at times, especially for writers, new and established alike. If you would like to talk through career or creative concerns with an experienced industry professional I would love to help. Our conversation would be in complete confidence. I’ve seen publishing from all sides, as an editor, senior manager, traditionally published writer and indie author, and I'd be delighted to support you. This can be a one-off hour-long online session, or a block of sessions.
