Editing & Publishing Portfolio
As an assisted publishing professional, I support authors through every stage of their writing and publishing journey. Below is a selection of my editorial, formatting and design work demonstrating the services I offer.
Developmental and Line Editing
This sample demonstrates my combined developmental and line-editing approach. I focus on clarity, pacing, emotional depth, narrative consistency, and craft guidance. My notes are supportive and practical, aimed at helping the author strengthen their voice and intention.
Line Editing Sample: Clarity, Structure & Transitions (Before/After)
This sample shows my clarity-focused line editing. I address sentence tightening, word choice, transitions, paragraph structure, and light developmental issues such as abrupt topic changes and introduction of new characters.
Interior Layout Sample (Print Book Formatting)
A sample of my print interior formatting. This two-page spread demonstrates professional book layout including margin setup, page numbering, running heads, font pairing, image placement, drop caps, and consistent paragraph styling. Designed for KDP and other print-on-demand platforms.
A chapter opener layout featuring image integration, chapter title styling, subheading, drop cap usage, paragraph structure, and balanced typography for print. This design provides an engaging, reader-friendly introduction suitable for both print and eBook formats.

Every writer gets stuck somewhere. Whether you need help developing characters, organising your ideas, structuring your manuscript or building the confidence to finish — I’ll support you every step of the way. Together, we’ll strengthen your storytelling skills and create momentum that lasts.
Website Design for Authors
I design clean, modern websites tailored specifically for authors — including book pages, a polished bio, review highlights, newsletter signup, and SEO best practices so readers can find you online.
