Book editor for historical fiction

Working with Debbie was one of the best decisions I’ve made as an author. She edited my trilogy with the utmost professionalism, care, and dedication. She was thorough and detail-oriented, and went above and beyond the role of editor—offering thoughtful insights, story advice, and encouragement. I learned so much from working with her. She was always friendly, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping my books reach their full potential. I highly recommend Debbie to any author looking for a trusted editor and a true creative partner.

This is the second time I have asked Debbie to provide support. The line edit has been worth every penny, her thoroughness shining through. I am reworking my historical biofiction with new enthusiasm as a result.

Debbie is especially hot on POV and highlighting redundant or unnecessary text. She’s also fun to work with.

Debbie handled the editing with care and precision. She cleaned up the grammar, tightened sentences, and made sure everything read smoothly. Most importantly, she respected my voice and helped the writing stay true to what I wanted to say.

If you’re looking for an editor who is not only skilled but also kind, dependable, and easy to work with, Debbie is the one. Her editing speaks for itself, but it’s her steady presence and genuine support that make the real difference. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide me.

Debbie was the perfect editor for me, a first-time author of historical fiction. She has a terrific eye for detail, alongside making suggestions around structure, which enhanced the flow of my writing. What I liked best about Debbie’s approach was her insatiable curiosity; she went down more research rabbit holes than I did, which must have taken ages.

Debbie has a good sense of humour, challenges in a constructive way, and is a true professional, delivering on or ahead of time. Whatever the size and scope of writing support you need, ask Debbie.

Exceptional talent. I had the great pleasure to work with Debbie on two projects. After she impressed me with her work on my manuscript assessment project, I asked her to copyedit my lengthy memoir. I was thrilled and grateful that she agreed to work with me on it.

Debbie has all of the skills of a top notch editor: a sharp intellect that can sort out all the various angles of any given piece of writing; a keen eye for detail; an excellent communication and work ethic. Debbie is also punctual, reliable and kind. She also makes the whole process fun and collegial. I look forward to working with her again on future projects. Eleven stars out of ten!”

Debbie is a world-class editor, so professional and thorough in her work. Our book was all over the place in voice, tone, and development. After she finished, our book was…well…an actual book.

We hired her for line editing but she did way more than that. She even gave us tips and tricks to help our book come together. She made this book come to life. She was always on time for the completion of each milestone, and super responsive. We will definitely hire her for our next book.

I’m in the process of publishing my ebook and Debbie did a fantastic job of proofreading and editing it. She was very professional, thorough and had a keen eye for detail. She delivered the work on time, did all the revisions required promptly, and went far and beyond the scope of the work. I’m really pleased with the project and very happy to recommend Debbie.

Debbie was a gift to me as a first-time self-publishing author. I was lucky that she’d just had a big project put back by the author, so was able to fit me in. She is professional and efficient, but also very friendly and helpful. Her editing was straightforward to follow and made sense to me. She explained any style choices or points that I needed to consider. She was also great about jumping onto video calls to clarify anything I didn’t understand or needed to discuss. I would be very happy to work with her again.

I would give Debbie 6 stars if it was possible. She made this ordeal easy for me especially since it was my first book. She respectfully corrected without being condescending, which made it easier for me to work with her. Letting someone read and edit one’s book can put authors in a place of vulnerability. The entire experience was well worth it because of her professionalism. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Debbie is great. I can’t recommend her enough. Such a nice person, pleasant to work with, super professional with great attention to detail. I will 100% ask your help again in the near future. Watch this space!

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Debbie. She is an excellent editor and she goes well beyond basic proofreading. Debbie also worked extra hours in order for us to meet a tight deadline. She is communicative and friendly. I hope that we can work together again in the near future.

Debbie completed her work with extreme diligence and care. She understood the message, made alterations where needed, conducted efficient research and kept in touch throughout the whole process. I would recommend her work to anyone who is looking for in-depth proofreading.

Deborah did editorial correction as well as proofreading on this project. I can honestly say that she added a lot of value to my book. She is very professional and punctual also sincerely involved in the project and works on details that I have overlooked a lot. I am very happy to work with her.

With her high-quality edits and suggestions, Deborah brought my story to life and delivered a fantastic manuscript. She was easy to work with, highly approachable, accommodating and she even delivered a few of our milestones ahead of schedule.

Deborah went above and beyond expectations. A project of this magnitude was a first for me and I was looking for a professional editor with years of experience to learn from. Deborah is exactly that, a professional who takes her time to explain, guide and listen.

Deborah is an extremely experienced, competent and professional editor. I have completed various projects with her successfully. Highly recommend.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Deborah. Her editing has been forensic in detail and improved my manuscript immeasurably. The work was completed on time, my questions answered very promptly and she made a number of valuable suggestions. I would use her again without hesitation.

Deborah did an amazing job! She provides extremely detailed feedback with great turnaround time and is very lovely to work with. Definitely an editor to learn craft from! Very happy with the result and can’t recommend enough.

Deborah did a fantastic job editing our book on yoga. She was extremely patient through the writing process as we took much longer than anticipated, and then did an extremely thorough editing job, well within timelines. She is very professional, systematic and disciplined in her approach to the project, and very receptive to the needs of the client. Highly recommend her for your writing and editing projects.

Deborah was so lovely to work with. She made sure to customise the proofreading according to my requests and writing style, but still left comments for my consideration. It shows that Deborah has years of experience and I felt very safe with her expertise.
