WHAT ROSIE SAYS ABOUT EDITING

I want to help you to develop the very best story you can. I want it to be your story, told in your unique voice.

I started writing my first novel in 2003. I had no idea what I was doing, and began simply by imitating the shape of books I had read and enjoyed. Over the years, I have been privileged to work with great mentors, editors and teachers of writing, and I’ve learned how supportive, constructive work with another can help you to shape your story and clarify your path.

In my work as an editor, I hope to encourage – and note how the word courage lives within that word − you to be bold and clear in your writing. I will help you to shape both the larger structure of the story and strengthen each element within it.

Everyone works differently – some are plotters and planners, some work more organically. I will help you to make the most of your own creative process and your distinctive skills.
