I work with writers and publishers, and I specialise in editing fiction and memoirs.

I am very happy to talk to you informally and answer any questions you may have, so please contact me, or ask for a sample edit. This is the best way to find out whether we are a good fit, as writer and editor.

To ensure the highest standards I will only take your project on if I can give it the time and attention it deserves personally. Every project is unique and requires a different editorial approach. My aim is to work with you to develop your work and help make your book the best it can be.

‘Nicola took the manuscript and worked her magic on it. She picked up so many little things that I had missed and also pointed out some larger issues. She gave me suggestions for research and ways to make my novel clearer. She is so friendly and very easy to work with. She never harshly criticised my work but simply pointed out how it could be improved. I am really happy with Nicola’s work and would definitely recommend her.’

‘Nicola Simcock was recommended to me by my publishers and provided an excellent service in editing and assessing my manuscript. She is thorough and is always available to answer questions.’
