Hi, I’m Karen, a UK book editor, writer and all-around fan of helping authors strengthen their stories. 

I’ve spent over a decade working with writers, editing blog posts and website content, self-help books, non-fiction, and novels.

For the last nine years, I’ve specialised in editing fiction for self-published authors, helping writers navigate the journey from manuscript to published book. I’ve worked with some amazing authors, including Amazon bestsellers Ker Dukey, Lisa Hobman, Heather MacKinnon, Maya Nicole, and many more, and I feel incredibly lucky to have played a small part in helping bring their stories to readers.

When I’m not editing, you’ll find me running the Write Here, Write Now Community — a lovely, supportive space where writers can learn, connect, share their work, and cheer each other on. What started as a way to bring writers together has grown into something I’m incredibly proud of, including two bestselling anthologies in the Women’s Short Stories category on Amazon, and raising money for Hopefull Handbags UK along the way. I was also honoured to be named a Theo Paphitis Small Business Sunday winner for my work with the Write Here, Write Now community.

My job isn’t just about correcting grammar and spelling; it’s about helping writers find confidence in their words and creating books they can’t wait to share.

So, whether you need a fresh pair of eyes on your manuscript, help tightening your plot, or someone in your corner cheering you on, I’d love to help you!
