Book Editing for
Contemporary Fiction Authors

Quality editing for every writer, regardless of budget

Namaste, Friend

Welcome to Fiction Yogi. I'm Tina and my philosophy is "Holistic not formulaic". Meaning I believe every fiction writer and every writing project deserve to be met on their own terms, rather than subjected to a one-size-fits-all approach to editing or pricing.

What Kind of Editor Am I?

I work with debut, emerging, and established writers, offering big-picture developmental assessments, as well as sentence-level copyediting. My methods are non-invasive, handing you the tools to improve your manuscript and level up your writing so you can meet your publishing goals.

But Am I Any Good?

I work only on manuscripts where I believe I can add significant value; and in a decade of editing, 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.

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 to an advanced level, 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.

I’d worked with editors who weren’t as thorough as I’d hoped, but working with Tina was completely different. Her edit has made my book so much better.
