Great writing lets your readers lose themselves in your story. Great editing helps you tell your story.

My aim is to help you tell your story and get your manuscript one step closer to for publishing. I work with you to elevate your writing and create a story you’re proud of.

Editing is not all about fixing mistakes or correcting grammar. Editing is about working with you to hone your story and polish it to a shine.

For travel & adventure writers
Turn your travel tales into page turners with professional editing that captures the spirit of your adventure.

Kia ora, I’m Deborah. I help travel and adventure writers like you polish your stories so you can publish your adventures with confidence. I’ve been editing for eleven years, and in that time I’ve helped many writers put the final touches on their stories so they can share them with the world.

I specialise in editing travel, adventure and mountaineering memoirs.

If you’re worried about publishing a book

• with plot holes, typos, and inconsistencies,
• that doesn’t look professional,
• that isn’t as engaging as it could be…

Then I can help.

My adventure editing will help you:

• improve your writing and your story,
• get your story one step closer to publishing,
• keep your readers turning the page,
• go beyond feedback from friends and family,
• have the confidence to share your story,
• make your book the best it can be.

I offer free sample edits for travel and adventure writers so you can see what’s involved before committing to a full edit.

I’m all about trust: I believe that editing is a partnership based on trust and collaboration.

I don’t tell you what to do: You know your story best, so I offer suggestions that you can use, develop, or ignore.

I tell you what’s working: Going through an edited manuscript can be daunting. That’s why I tell you when you’ve made me laugh or snort or cry.
