manuscript services

Having worked as a journalist, author and editor for almost 40 years, and been one of three beta readers for an old friend’s bestselling memoir, I am now adding Manuscript Assessment services to my portfolio. With a background in psychoanalytic theory and psychodynamic psychotherapy practice, I have particular expertise in authentic characterization and psychological depth, as well as an eagle eye for good grammar and an overall sense of what a novel needs to achieve. My experience of the publishing industry is also a key factor in this area of my profession, especially in combination with my various roles as an English lecturer, academic researcher, literary critic, and Faber Academy writing tutor.
