The Open Book Editor

We provide the full range of manuscript editing services for fiction and non-fiction authors, novelists, and creative writers. We specialise in offering a transparent and affordable service with kind-but-honest feedback to ensure you improve as a writer and that your book is the best it can be for its readers. Furthermore, we understand how challenging the publishing industry can be and that it can take its toll on our self-esteem and confidence. Thus, we also offer author coaching and consultancy sessions in which you can learn more about the industry, the right publishing strategy for you and your book, and positive mindset techniques to keep you feeling positive, upbeat, and productive.
