"A diverse and interesting debut... Captivating."

"A really enjoyable read. Highly recommend."

"I love these little planet hopping stories... My favourites were The Lady of the River and Cycles."

Writing Services

Possessing a good eye for detail and context, I have written, copy edited, and proofread many manuscripts during my 15 years’ in the field, including (but not limited to): novels, short stories, essays, training and instruction manuals, literacy tests, and news articles.

I am very sensitive to each writer’s personal style, which should never be lost,
and work with you to realise your aims. It is a process I very much enjoy.

Whatever your project's needs, I can help you.

“AJ has worked with me on my last two novels, providing prompt and helpful copy editing advice and a thorough and detailed proofread.
Good copy editors and proofreaders are hard to find. AJ is one of them.”
– Justin Newland, author of The Genes of Isis, The Old Dragon’s Head and The Coronation

“As an author, I know how important it is that my writing is published in the best possible state it can be. It was crucial to find a copy editor and proofreader that I could trust with my work. After using AJ’s services for my first three novels, I wouldn’t go to anyone else; his professionalism, attention to detail and ease of communication made the whole process run smoothly, and was excellent value for money. I’m delighted with the end result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.”
– Jackie Carreira, author of Sleeping Through War, The Seventh Train, and Notebook Number 9
