I'm a friendly, experienced editor and proofreader, specialising in books set in France, mysteries and thrillers, historical fiction, memoirs and web content.

I'm a Professional Member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP) and a graduate of the University of Oxford.

Proofreading and editing is not only my job, but my passion. I get a buzz from helping self-published authors, publishers and businesses to produce work of an exceptional standard. My clients include independent publishers, self-published authors and companies like The Royal Mint.

I read French at the University of Oxford and have lived and worked in France, hence the specialist arm of my business for editing books set in France, but I work on all kinds of other books too. A selection of my favourite projects is on my website: www.debbie-emmitt.com/portfolio

I've just finished writing my debut novel, a mystery set in the south of France, and am in the process of querying agents.

I also have extensive experience with web content on a variety of platforms so can edit through the lens of SEO, web accessibility and user experience. I'm the author of Improve Your Author Website and Improve Your Editor Website.
