Simon Wilcox - writer and editor

Editing service

It’s been a long journey through oceans of research and text, and, finally, you can see land on the horizon.

But before you deliver your manuscript, perhaps my editing service at seawharfediting@btinternet.com should be your first port of call. As an experienced writer and editor, I can root out any mistakes or inconsistencies in the text and suggest improvements if needed.
