Editing

Shaping clarity, crafting compelling narratives, unleashing impact

Ross and his small team of handpicked editors offer professional editing from...

… creative editing for short fiction, novels, and poetry to academic editing for undergraduate and postgraduate assignments and dissertations; from first drafts to final polishes, from generating initial ideas and plans to final edits and formatting ready for submission, Ross and his team have extensive experience, from founding Superlative – The Literary Journal to working on countless academic projects at all levels. 

What We Offer

01

Short Fiction

Drawing on an extensive range of expertise, right the way up to doctoral level, short fiction is a real area of passion and expertise for us. Whatever your short fiction needs, be it character development or the drawing out of deeper meaning through motifs, we are here to help. 

03

Poetry

It’s easy to write poetry. It’s incredibly difficult to write good poetry. We have studied poetry for many years, and we and our students have had a wide variety of poems published. Take advantage of our knowledge and expertise to take your poetry to the next level.   

02

Novels

We have worked extensively on a wide range of novels, many of which are either already published, or have been accepted for representation. If you feel like you need help tackling such an ambitious, and often daunting, project, take advantage of our experience.  

04

Assignments & Dissertations 

We have worked on countless academic projects at all levels, across a huge range of disciplines, and have received numerous academic awards. We are ready to help you with your assignment, whether it is still just a few scattered ideas, or ready for a final proofread. 

All sessions are via webcam, using either Microsoft Teams or Zoom.

The option for feedback to be sent electronically is available.

Worry less and let us do the editing.

By the time you’re staring at the tenth draft, it can seem like all the words are blurring together. When your deadline is looming, it can feel like your assignment is not going to be ready in time. Don’t panic. Let us help you develop your characters and craft your plot and polish your description until they read the way you hoped they would. Let us help you collate your research and shape your arguments and proofread your references until your assignment is ready to go.

English as a 2nd Language

I've had a fair amount of lessons so far, and benefited immensely from it. What's great about our workshops is that it is not staid academic English lessons, rather, we have worked on creative writing, blogs and even types of writing (like op-eds and short form) that I need to enhance in order to become better at my job working PR!

For me, as someone who is not new to writing, Ross has managed to really stretch my abilities and articulation, and the latter goes the long way beyond just writing.

His passion and dedication really engages you in each and every session.
