Editorial Services
I offer focused, rigorous editorial work for poetry collections, chapbooks, and hybrid manuscripts. My approach blends a poet’s sensitivity with a publisher’s eye for structure, coherence, and emotional truth. I’ve edited award-winning authors and emerging writers alike, including poets published by Broken Sleep, Bloodaxe, Coach House, and other independent presses.
Chapbook / Pamphlet Edit — £350–£550
For manuscripts of c. 15–30 poems. Includes a full line edit, structural notes, title/ordering guidance, and an optional 30-minute follow-up call.
Full Poetry Collection Edit — £650–£900
A complete line edit and structural review of a collection (typically 40–70 poems). Includes thematic notes, cohesion analysis, ordering recommendations, and a 60-minute follow-up call.
Hybrid Manuscript Edit — £750–£1,100
For hybrid or mixed-form works (prose-poetry, lyric essay, experiment, up to ~20k words). Includes line edits, margin commentary, structural analysis, and a 60-minute follow-up conversation.
Hourly Editorial Consultation — £85/hour
For writers who need flexibility, I offer bespoke sessions tailored to your specific goals. Whether it’s brainstorming, developing a manuscript, preparing submissions, or refining your writer’s profile, these one-hour sessions are ideal for focused guidance.
Online sessions are available Monday through Saturday, on your chosen timeline.
