About Edmondson Editing
My Story
I offer editing services, specialising in Fantasy and romantic Fantasy.
Stories are living things—they evolve, change, and grow. As a developmental editor, my passion is helping writers shape their stories into the best versions of themselves while staying true to their unique vision and voice.
I believe that feedback should be kind, constructive, and empowering. Writing is deeply personal, and my goal is to support authors with thoughtful guidance that builds them up rather than tears them down. Whether you're refining your plot, strengthening your characters, or finding the heart of your story, I'm here to help you bring your vision to the page.
Let’s grow your story together.
