My name’s Andy, and I run a book editing and coaching business called The Narrative Craft.

I help indie authors and anthropologists finish their book projects (OK, I work on novellas, short stories, and journal articles too).

If you need help with navigating the book publishing process – the emotional side, the editorial side, or both, then get in touch! I cover everything from ideas and fears to style and grammar, so you will finish your book project with a sense of accomplishment, satisfaction, and self-assurance.

My background:

I have a PhD in social anthropology from the University of Manchester, and a degree in the history of science from the University of Cambridge. I’ve completed extensive editorial training with the CIEP and PTC and have been editing and writing for over fourteen years.

This experience means I understand the demands of the publishing world and am passionate about worldbuilding and the craft of storytelling. I love giving editorial feedback in these areas.
