Welcome!
I’m happy to welcome you to my website dedicated to my work as a Writer and Editor.
What do I do?
My speciality is fiction- in other words, stories.
I write learner literature for educational publishers. I also write mainstream fiction. I work as an editor for educational publishers and indies.
My passion is for creating stories. Stories are all around us, all of the time. They help us connect with others, communicate ideas, and imagine life’s possibilities. They are told to interest, entertain, and teach us, and they’re a fundamental part of the human experience.
You can access my portfolio of work on my Fiction pages. To find out more about me, look here. To see my books and courses about writing, look here.
I also love working with other writers, helping them to make their story the best it can be. I particularly like working with writers of literary fiction, thrillers, suspense, whodunnits and human interest. If your learner literature or fiction project needs an editor, take a look at my Editing Services page, and let’s talk!

Testimonials
I asked Sue to give me her feedback on my manuscript for a novel that I have been working on for years. I was too close to the project to see where I was to proceed next. She nailed it by highlighting obvious weaknesses in the storyline. She suggested how to strengthen the depth in some of my characters and focused on how my villain needed to be eviler. It was so helpful and now the manuscript is so much stronger and ready for publication soon. Thank you Sue. Your insight and advice allowed me to move forward with more direction and purpose.
I worked with Sue over a period of four years and five Graded Reader titles. With every one, she was an invaluable guide, from the detailed line edits to the bigger picture of plot and pace. She was responsive and encouraging at every stage, and I learned a lot from the process.
Sue was my editor on two of the graded readers I was commissioned to write for Cengage for their Page Turners series. I found Sue to be an excellent editor: helpful, incisive and very personable. She has a deep understanding of writing for a global audience, and an expertise that has come from her many years in the ELT field.
