Free Edit

I'll edit the first chapter of your novel providing it's not more than two thousand words (or there abouts).

I don't know about you, but when I'm choosing my reading material I first look for an interesting cover. Then I'll open and read a couple of lines.

But if the opening doesn't grab me I'll move to the next book - even if it's an author I'm familiar with. And asking around there are a lot of people like me.


It's crucial to get the first page right. I often edit and re-edit page one long after I've finished the book.


In order to receive your FREE edit all you have to do is email me the first chapter of your book, include a short outline of the story, letting me know its genre, and I'll email back my edit with any helpful criticisms.


But be warned: I don't flatter.

  1. Just wondering if this is a limited offer? I would love to submit my first pages, but they are not written yet, so that would be a problem!

  3. Oh goody. Next question...are you fussy about genre? I don't write chick-lit, mine are more thriller or crime.
