Historical fiction editing
tailor-made for you
I'm Sarah, and I'm an editor and proofreader specialising in historical fiction.
Whatever form of editing your book requires, I can help you. Whether you've just finished that first draft and you don't know where to go from there, or you've revised and polished as much as you feel you are able, I can provide the service you need to help you on your book-writing journey.
I work on all historical periods, from prehistory to contemporary history, and on all subgenres of historical fiction, including action/adventure, crime/mystery/thriller, family sagas, and romance. I also work on historical fiction for children and young adults.

'Sarah's precise and attentive work was invaluable to me when I had to get an extensive manuscript out. Aside from her excellent work, she was absolutely punctual and kind, which made the intense effort of completing a rewrite on a deadline incredibly pleasant. I'd work with her again in a heartbeat!'
Carol Schneider, playwright/novelist
'I cannot thank you enough for your brilliant and detailed critique, which was invaluable in helping me to tighten the story and iron out the kinks. You were the perfect fit for this historical fiction novel, and you went the extra mile to offer guidance on navigating the path to publication.'
Peggy Carr, author of Shape of a Warrior
'As first-time authors we could not be happier with Sarah's service. We cannot thank her enough. It was a privilege to have worked with her and we can recommend her without any reservation.'
Paul and Christopher Bishop
'Working and communicating with Sarah was very straightforward, a great help when exploring a different genre for the first time. Her feedback is detailed, incisive and – importantly – very encouraging. Sarah's command of style, pace and tone provided essential input when developing my manuscript.'
David Marshall
'Sarah threw my book in the air, gathered up the pieces and handed them to me in a way that turned it from confused over-researched self-indulgent tosh into a taut story that anyone without a PhD in early modern history could enjoy. I'm looking forward to working with her again.'
