As a writer, you want your work to be polished and professional. You’re looking for someone who can lift your writing to the next level and help it engage and absorb your readers, all the while respecting your voice and your style. You’ve come to the right place!
I’m Jane, an editor and proofreader specialising in speculative fiction – science fiction, fantasy, horror (and their subgenres) – and RPG (roleplaying game) material.
I also work in non-fiction, in which I specialise in psychology, alternative education, home education/ homeschooling, memoir and geocaching.
My approach is very much one of collaboration. I am on your side! I can help you craft your work into something that you – and your readers – will be delighted with.
If this is your first time working with an editor, I understand that it can feel a bit overwhelming. I am here to guide you through the process.
We all have different approaches to our creativity and the way we connect to each other. If you’re a neurodivergent writer, or have dyslexia, let me know. I am happy to listen to your needs and explore the communication methods that work best for you.
Please take a look at my services to find out more about how it all works. If you aren’t sure what you need, or if you have any other questions, please do feel free to contact me for an initial chat. No obligation; I’m happy to help.
You can also find out more about me and my work and read testimonials from some of my appreciative clients.
If you’re not ready for editing just yet but would like to stay connected, you can always sign up to my newsletter or follow me on Facebook.
In the three years I have been writing professionally, I have won an international writing award and been nominated for a second. I could not have done that with the quite honestly brilliant assistance of Jane Spencer. I would recommend her to anyone seeking to publish any work, no matter how long or short.
It’s not just the incredibly high quality of editing work that Jane does which is so good, but also the constructive and educational feedback she provides. Working with her has been an education, in English, in writing and in my own writing philosophies.
I could write volumes of praise for her and her work, but let me summarise with this fact – I refuse to publish any work, whether digital or in print, without having Jane edit it first. If you are smart, you’ll do the same.
