Louise's specialties
Why we love Louise
Louise has an excellently eclectic range of interests and specialisms across writing, education, drama teaching, hair, and time management. No matter the subject, she approaches projects with the enthusiasm and care that every manuscript deserves. She has a brilliant eye for character and whether their motivation feels realistic.
What Louise says about editing
I have a good eye for the big picture and I’m excellent at problem solving – in fact I love it! What I most enjoy about helping writers with their manuscripts is finding ways to help them make their books as good as they can be. I’ve worked with complete beginners as well as Undergraduates and Masters students and I’m able to offer book reports, copy editing, line edits and developmental work. I believe that editorial reports are best when they are specific. I like to start by asking the writer what they most want to get out of the experience and to tailor my reports so they are aimed at addressing exactly what’s required. As a university lecturer, I have been helping writers for the last twenty years and I can’t wait to help even more writers make their manuscripts shine – and to get their books out into the world.
