About me

I have spent my career immersed in the literary world – as a book editor, journalist and author. I understand what sells, what stands out, and what makes a novel truly publishable.

Over the years, I have helped authors secure literary agents, land publishing deals, and achieve bestseller status. My clients include bestselling authors, celebrity writers, and debut novelists, and I have even helped guide self-published authors to Amazon chart success.

​

Beyond book editing, I am a published writer, competition marker, and industry insider. I know what it’s like to query, revise, and navigate the publishing world, and I bring that insider expertise to every manuscript I take on.

​

When I work with an author, I invest in their story as if it were my own. From refining structure and voice to tightening prose and maximising marketability, I collaborate with you to ensure your novel reaches its highest potential.

Personal and collaborative

Every novel is highly personal to its author, and so is my approach to book editing. I take the time to understand your vision, voice, and publishing goals, ensuring my feedback is tailored to enhance your story rather than impose a one-size-fits-all formula.

 

My edits and suggestions are designed to strengthen your manuscript while preserving what makes it uniquely yours.

Precision meets creativity

Great storytelling isn’t just about technical polish – it’s about emotion, authenticity, and impact. I focus on clarity, structure, and flow while ensuring your prose remains compelling and true to your voice.

 

Whether it’s refining character arcs, sharpening tension, or elevating your narrative style, my goal is to help your novel shine in every way.

Investment in your success

When I take on a manuscript, I become fully invested in its journey. I care about every story I work on and bring industry insight and publishing expertise to help you navigate your next steps – whether that’s securing an agent, entering competitions, or self-publishing with confidence.

 

If I edit your novel, I’m in it with you, every step of the way.

Editing Services

Each editing package includes a 1-2-1 private consultation to discuss your book edit, clarify feedback, and plan your next steps. All prices are based on an 85,000 word manuscript.

What sort of book edit do I need? Every book is different, and the right edit depends on where you are in the process. Whether you need big-picture feedback, a deep dive into your prose, or a final polish, there’s an edit to match. Not sure which specific type of edit you need? Get in touch, and I’ll help you find the best fit for your manuscript.

"Scarlett’s involvement was nothing short of miraculous and absolutely vital – dismantling and reassembling piece by brutal piece and turning chaos into coherence. This book wouldn’t exist in its best form without your precise, merciless and utterly transformative guidance."
