Do you write historical fiction or books set in France 🇫🇷?

I’m a trained, friendly editor and proofreader, with over seven years’ experience editing fiction and nonfiction (100+ books under my belt). I offer sample edits and payment plans to be flexible around your needs.

I edit most genres but specialize in:

• historical fiction

• books set in France

• mysteries and thrillers

• memoirs and biographies

It’s natural to feel anxious about engaging with an editor for the first time.

I’m used to working with first-time authors. I’m also a writer myself, working on my first novel. I understand how vulnerable you may feel sending your precious words to an editor, who may be the first person, other than you, to read them!

Previous clients have appreciated my friendly, professional manner. I work with you so that, together, we can polish your book to be the best it can be.

I’m an Advanced Professional Member (highest level) of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP), a Partner Member of the Alliance of Independent Authors (ALLi), and a graduate of the University of Oxford.

“Debbie was so lovely to work with. She made sure to customise the editing according to my requests and writing style but still left comments for my consideration. It shows that Debbie has years of experience, and I felt very safe with her expertise.”
—Ann-Elizabeth Briars, author of The Stars of Time trilogy
