Editing services
I want you to love your story to the moon and back. And I want young readers to love it all the way to Neptune. I offer three levels of developmental editing and the right one for you will depend on where you are in your writing journey and how much feedback you need.
Level 1
Cub Reports are a brilliant way to get feedback on a specific element of your story. They focus only on your first 10,000 words so are great for letting you know if you’re heading in the right direction or, if you already have a completed manuscript, giving you the suggestions and guidance you need to tackle revisions. I will:
- Read your first 10,000 words
- Write a report around 5 A4 pages in Word
- Address only one plot element, chosen by you
- Invite you to a private Facebook group for middle grade and YA genre authors

Cub Report: Audience
£150

Cub Report: Genre
£150
Not sure which genre or subgenre your story is? Wondering if you’re giving genre fans what they want? This report will help you identify your market and how to find published titles similar to yours.

Cub Report: Character goals
£150
I’ll explore how successfully you present your main character’s goals (internal and external) and motivations and whether they’re driving the story forward in each scene.

Cub Report: Wild card
£150
If there’s something else in your manuscript you’d like me to focus on, like pacing, POV or sensory detail, let me know via email. If I think it’s something I can cover in a Cub Report, you’re on!
