Professional Editing. Collaborative Writing. Author Support 

 

​​Whether you're writing a memoir or other non-fiction book, creating training materials or business documents, or preparing a work of fiction for publication, you want your writing to be clear, engaging and achieve its goals.

​

Perhaps you have a story to tell, expertise to share or a message that matters, but you're unsure how to structure it, strengthen it or bring it to life on the page. Or perhaps you've done all the hard work and simply need a professional editor to polish your manuscript before publication. That might even be to have your PhD proofread.

​

That's where I can help.

​

Hi, I'm Wendy Stuart, freelance editor and writer, and member of the Institute of Professional Editors.

​

Through developmental editing, copyediting, proofreading and collaborative writing, I work alongside non-fiction authors, professionals and organisations to transform complex, unfinished or deeply personal material into writing that is clear, purposeful and engaging. I provide copyediting and proofreading for fiction authors, particularly in adult fantasy and fantasy romance, while preserving each writer's unique voice and world-building. I also subcontract to reputable self-publishing and hybrid support companies

​

Whether you need an experienced editor to refine your manuscript, a writing partner to help shape your ideas, or support developing professional communication materials, I'll help you clarify your message while preserving your unique voice.

​

My approach combines professional editorial expertise with creativity, intuition and empathy. I don't simply correct words; I help uncover the strongest version of your message while preserving your unique voice.

​

Whether you're still exploring an idea, wrestling with a first draft or preparing for publication, I'll recommend the level of editorial support that's right for your manuscript—not more than you need, and never less than your writing deserves.
