Editing & Proofreading

I could not recommend Cathy McSporran’s editing prowess highly 
enough. She has an eye for pace, plot, characterisation 
and the essentials of good storytelling which transformed 
my ramblings into an award-winning published novel...  
In particular, she is unafraid to be honest, which is 
a rare quality in many editors and tutors, and 
clearly explains why something clunks or isn't working.
                     
           Anne Pettigrew, author of Not The Life Imagined
