Mark is the kind of ruthless editor most writers love and hate in equal measure.

 

Give him your beloved manuscript and he’ll find a hundred ‘mistakes,’ whether they be severe overuse of a noun or adjective or phrases that are simply out of context of time and place. 

 

Having edited in genres ranging from fantasy to medical thriller, Mark is what’s called a ‘forensic’ editor. Inevitably when he’s 'cleaned-up' your manuscript, you’ll have more success selling to an agent or a publisher.

 

Think CSI of the literary persuasion and you have an idea of his attention to detail.
