You have worked hard to create your story, and now you want others to enjoy it. I can help you present the best version of your writing.

This is me

Helen Woodhouse

I am an editor and proofreader who loves fiction and working with authors.

I will not judge you by any mistakes in your writing: we all make them, and by looking for someone to go through your manuscript before you commit to printing it, you are taking a sensible step.

Here's how I helped them

'I've long since lost count of how many copyeditors I've worked with in my career but I've never come across anyone as good at her job as Helen Woodhouse. She is absolutely outstanding!... What struck me most was that she can not only 'hear' an author's voice, she can make editorial suggestions that are actually in tune with it. In my experience, that's quite extraordinary.'
Alison Roberts
Author, Falling for Provence
'Helen was incredibly thorough and thoughtful in her comments. They were framed with queries where needed to clarify what was/might be needed. Her contributions really improved the flow of the book.'
Kate Dulson
Author, Ghosted
'You are a fantastic editor with a great eye for detail and you're a mine of information.'
Chrissie Walsh
Author, The Orphan's Heartbreak
'... the editor I've always needed.'
Darren Lee Floyd
Author, Phantoms Inc. vs. The Black Knight
'... what a good job you have done with my manuscript - The Vessel of Elseland. The novella is now in stores worldwide.'

Here's how I can help you

Editing

I can help you with your manuscript before you send it to a literary agent or publisher, or before you take further steps in the self-publishing process.

Proofreading

Once you have had your manuscript edited and designed, I can help you by checking the document before it is printed.
