Editors

We employ the services of experienced editors who work in the worlds of publishing and professional writing. Several of our editors freelance for publishers in the UK and the US. A number are themselves literary agents or publishers and others are published authors.

All are dedicated editors or reviewers with a clear understanding of what makes good fiction and how to provide useful feedback. We read your work and appraise it objectively, drawing on our professional experience and expertise and understanding the writer’s perspective.

Many of our editors are members of the CIEP, and Fiction Feedback is a partner member of ALLi. Our editor-in-chief holds a key position within the Crime Writers’ Association (CWA) who award the world-renowned Daggers, including the Debut Dagger, and Fiction Feedback is proud to provide the CWA’s official editing service.

Our editors’ interests and experience are varied. Crime, literary fiction, contemporary romance, historical novels, children’s fiction for all ages and narrative non-fiction including educational books and memoir are encompassed by their areas of expertise.

High professional standards are at the heart of our critique and editing service which has earned a reputation as one of the best in the UK. Whenever we provide sample mini edits, customers who have sensibly been shopping around return to us for their work with comments such as ‘technically far superior’ and ‘the best by a long way’. Writers who take up the service give feedback such as: ‘I’m so impressed by the guidance the developmental editor has given me’.

The result of such high-quality editing is outstanding manuscripts. Whether you’re looking to attract the attention of an agent or to publish independently, that’s essential.
