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 ten 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’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.
