Narrative connects us—stories change us.

Hi! I'm Annelie.
I have twenty years experience as a writer and six years experience as a professional reader, editor and ghostwriter. I understand the various ins and outs of the writing journey. My aim: to make yours as enjoyable as possible.
-
Ghostwriting
As your own personal storyteller I will take your idea from seedling to leafy-green completion. You may only have a sentence or perhaps you’ve written a full outline, you may have a vague notion of where you wish your story to go or feel strongly you know exactly what you want it to be—it’s all good. We’ll work together for a clear understanding of your story’s potential and will agree on every step we are taking together before I begin to write.
-
Editing
As every project is unique and comes with its own set of requirements, my developmental and line editing services are entirely tailor-made to suit your specific needs. Send me a query that outlines where you’re currently at with your novel or with your idea/outline and we’ll work together to determine what type of service is best suited for you.

Professional Feedback
If you’ve finished your first draft—and are considering whether to hire an editor or simply self-publish/query—I warmly recommend booking an editorial assessment. With a round of professional feedback you’ll get a clear picture of where you stand.
“Editing is like opening a wrapped box and showing the contents to the writer. They chose the wrapping paper, they wrapped the box, they’re convinced they know exactly what’s inside and then they find there’s a multitude of gorgeous surprises. Helping a writer discover all the treasures they’ve buried is the most rewarding part of the job.”
