Narrative connects us—stories change us.

  • Hi! I'm Annelie.

    I have twenty-three years experience as a writer and nine 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.

    How can I help you today?

  • Editing

    As every project is unique and comes with its own set of requirements, my developmental and line editing services are tailored 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.

    Tell me more.

  • Coaching

    My coaching service is all about helping you level up your writing through a deepened understanding of narrative structure. We focus on character as the axis of any story and from that central axis we’ll thread plot progression and world building through the narrative, providing you with the tools for effective storytelling.

    Let’s chat.

  • 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 idea of what your next step should be.

“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.”
