LIFTED MY BROKEN SPIRIT

Thank you, Tina, for guiding me gently through this whole process. Your sensitive but meticulous annotations lifted my broken spirit to attack the manuscript with new zeal. I feel it has evolved massively from where it was before we started working on it together.

Simple 3-Step Process

Holistic not formulaic; instinctive not prescriptive

I'll work with an open mind and an understanding of your goals, to realize your book's potential and what we need to do to get it there.

Editing fiction is not about ticking boxes (sorry, AI). Rhythm, pace, voice and style drive the technicalities of punctuation, spelling and grammar, rather than the other way around.

I'll prioritize helping you make your narrative consistent, clear, effective, and above all, a pleasure to read for fans of your genre.

Capable hands

In 2025 I celebrated a decade of professional book editing and proofreading for self-publishing indie authors, and authors seeking representation.

A graduate in literature, I've studied creative writing and advanced creative writing, am a self-published author of thirteen novels, and a published short story writer.

In addition, I've trained with the UK's Publishing Training Centre in: proofreading, grammar, the book publishing industry, and fiction editing.

I HAVE BECOME A BETTER WRITER

It has been a privilege to work with Tina, and her enthusiasm for the written word will continue to energize me and remind me why we write in the first place.

The Fiction Yogi philosophy

Namaste, Friend. Welcome to Fiction Yogi. The Fiction Yogi philosophy is "Holistic not formulaic; instinctive not prescriptive". Meaning I believe every fiction writing project deserves to be met on its own terms, rather than subjected to a one-size-fits-all editing process.

Guided by your narrative's individual voice and style, as well as your goals for your work, I help you pull together the story you wish to tell so it's clear, engaging, and fits comfortably in your genre.

My priority is quality before speed, and my methods are supportive and non-intrusive, handing you the tools to master your manuscript and elevate your writing so you can meet your publishing goals.

I work only on manuscripts where I believe I can add significant value, and to date every writer I've collaborated with has gone on to publish either traditionally or via self-publishing. In addition, I have a 100% customer satisfaction rate that it's my personal mission to maintain.
