About Rachel
editor
I’m a professional book editor specialising in fiction, and I work with writers to shape and refine their stories. I’m an author myself, so I’ve been in your shoes, and I know how tough it is to navigate revising and publishing a book you’ve poured so much heart into. I’m here to support you with thoughtful, constructive editing. Good editing should feel inspiring, so you can craft a book you’re really proud of – without losing your voice.
I’ve been editing professionally for nine years, with over 200 books under my belt, including bestsellers and award-winners. I’ve worked with the likes of Hachette, HarperCollins, Bloomsbury and Penguin Random House. Your work is in safe hands!
author
I’m the author of the cat café romance series, published by Hodder & Stoughton. The first book, Snowed In at the Cat Café, has sold in eleven territories worldwide and been translated into eight languages and counting. My books are heartfelt and cosy, with sweet love stories at the forefront.

Absolutely wonderful
Rachel is absolutely wonderful! Not only is she professional, thorough, and constructive, but her enthusiasm and the way she presents information with examples is helpful and informative. I’ve learned SO much working with her and look forward to working with her again on future books. She meets her deadlines and is genuinely interested in helping authors grow. She also respects your author voice and is just a nice person to work with in every aspect. Thank you, Rachel!
In capable hands
You are amazingly thorough. I love your process and your level of detail. And your enthusiasm for the story means everything. THANK YOU so, so much for levelling this manuscript up. I knew it was in capable hands. I don’t feel any anxiety around looking at these edits, and trust me that is an enormous feat.
An injection of energy
Rachel’s manuscript assessment taught me so much, and unlocked a completely new way of looking at and understanding what did and didn’t work in my manuscript. Her notes were incredibly thorough, thoughtful and detailed, returned in a well-structured document with constructive ideas for fixing the big issues. I felt such an injection of energy after working with her, it has been invaluable for me.
She is simply amazing
I was blown away by Rachel’s thoughtful and thorough work and there is no doubt that my novel will be incalculably stronger because of Rachel’s feedback. She is simply amazing. If you are a writer in search of professional editing services, you found them. End of search.
You will walk away with great ideas
Rachel is an excellent editor, and I cannot recommend her services enough! With her developmental guidance, I have been able to transform my early manuscript draft into a much more powerful story. If you are stuck in your writing process, take the plunge and get the leg-up you need from Rachel! She takes her time to provide thoughtful, actionable suggestions, and you will walk away with great ideas and kind words of encouragement to inspire you.
