Book a Coaching Call or Query-Package Review

Coaching Call


Whether you want help honing your idea, are stuck mid-draft, or need a final push to get to the end, I can help. On a one-hour video call we’ll talk through exactly what’s stopping you, brainstorm solutions, and I’ll give you clear feedback and practical tools to get you over the line.

I’ll send you full notes after the call, and be around to answer brief questions over the next couple of weeks by email, to make sure you’re on the right track.

Ready to get unstuck? Book your call below, and you’ll get a video link emailed to you – send over reading material two business days in advance, and I’ll come to the call with feedback ready. I work across most genres of adult fiction except science-fiction and fantasy, but do not work on children’s, non-fiction, screenplays or poetry. If in doubt, drop me a line before you book and I’m happy to advise whether I would be the right editor for you. 

Investment: £250

What you get:

  • Reading prep of up to 10,000 words – just send it over two business days ahead of our call

  • One-hour video call including feedback and any questions you have

  • Notes from video call with clear plan for next steps

  • Follow-up support by email to answer brief questions for the next two weeks

Query-Package Review


If you’re about to query – or you’re already querying but aren’t getting the right response – a query-package review can help tighten things up to ensure you’re pitching your book in the best possible way and making it as easy as possible for agents to say ‘yes’.

With full feedback across all elements of your package – query letter, synopsis and first ten thousand words – plus a proofread of your opening chapters, you’ll have everything you need to polish your queries and give your novel its best chance of success. And if you want a second look at your query letter and synopsis within the first month after submitting to me, I’ll reread them when you’ve made revisions.

Book a slot below, and send over your documents to me by that date – and I’ll get everything turned around for you within a week. I work across most genres of adult fiction except science-fiction and fantasy, but do not work on children’s, non-fiction, screenplays or poetry. If in doubt, drop me a line before you book and I’m happy to advise whether I would be the right editor for you.

Please note that this package does not include a video call: the slot you book is the time I will start reading your documents.

  • Feedback on your query letter, synopsis and first 10k words

  • Proofread of your first 10k words

  • Abi is a great editor. She’s very clever at knowing what will appeal to the market, while still allowing writers the freedom to tell their own story. Her editorial notes are always bang on, and she’s got a way of suggesting an idea to spark a plot twist or character change without being didactic.

    Kerry Barrett, bestselling author of The Book of Last Letters

  • I learned so much from her edits, I feel as though I have taken a master class in writing. I am certain my future writing will be all the better for it… Her feedback was done in such a way that I never felt criticized, only encouraged to make necessary changes.

  • If you’re searching for an editor who will not only refine your work but lift it to heights you didn’t even know were possible, stop looking – Abi is the one. She has an extraordinary ability to zoom out and see the big picture while never losing sight of the smallest details. Every single one of the four titles I’ve worked on with Abi has been consistently loved by readers and reviewers alike. That’s not a coincidence; that’s Abi’s magic at work.

    Colleen Coleman, bestselling author of Don’t Stop Me Now

  • I found Abi to be incredibly responsive, laser-focused and has an incredible ability to cut right to the heart of what matters. Her insights have been invaluable – she had tons of ideas to make my project better in ways that I never would have been able to see for myself. I genuinely can’t recommend Abi enough to anyone in search of a thoughtful and meticulous editor.
