‘You’re selling yourself short if you don’t use Alison as your editor.’

Quil Carter, Author: The Fallocaust Series

I am a UK-based writer, editor and independent novelist. I love reading and I love to write. These are the two great passions of my life.

I am a keen supporter of independent novelists. It frustrates me when a talented writer is held back or receives negative reviews because of typos or structural errors. If you have put a lot of time and effort, and indeed your heart and soul, into a book, then the last thing you want is for it to be criticised for errors that can be rectified with a professional edit of your work. Having self-published, I know how it is to be a writer, going through your  manuscript over and over again, and the frustration that results when you order a proof copy or check the online reviewer and come across errors that you somehow missed. The truth is that we don’t always see the mistakes we make because we are so familiar with the words we have written. This is where I can help. I can be the fresh pair of eyes that check and evaluate your work in an unbiased and supportive way. I have no wish to write your book for you, so I won’t try to alter your ‘voice’. And any recommendations that I make are just that – recommendations. It is entirely up to you whether you choose to use them or ignore them. It is your book, not mine.

I want your book to be the best it can be and I want you to hit that ‘publish’ button secure in the knowledge that you have done all you can to ensure that your work is up to standard. I will work with you to achieve that aim, giving honest and supportive feedback and suggestions along the way.
