the mighty word

So, you've imagined your alien planet, peopled it with curious beasts, ancient bio-tech civilisations and warring clans. You've worked on the galaxy's history, the development of FTL interplanetary travel, the design and function of shiny ships or crusty, post-apocalyptic scavenger gadgetry and survival pods. You've found your way into a mirror world of sorcery and chivalry and you are ready to take the reader on an epic journey.

​

But something's missing. Perhaps your characters lack depth and believable psychology. Perhaps your concept needs a little more thought to maximise its originality. Perhaps you need help balancing backstory with present-time story pacing. Or perhaps you are almost there and just need a committed, informed beta reader, proofreader or copy-editor who knows the genre.

I am a lifelong sci-fi fan and reader of sci-fi and fantasy. I am also a doctor of literature (Cambridge University) and writer in my own right. I have what it takes and can bring all the skills outlined on the accompanying pages to your sweeping saga.
