Editing Services

Hi, I’m Ennis Welbourne (they/them), this page details what editing services I provide :)

I charge £20 per hour – or £17 an hour for those who have previously attended an Access Narrative (AN) group. For new editing clients, I take submissions of between 1,000–3,000 words, with a min/max fee of £30–£90 – or £25-76 for AN members.

I provide written feedback by adding digital ‘comments’ to specific words or lines of text. I will explain the reasonings behind my advice and present my thoughts as suggestions based on my personal opinion.

You can expect my feedback to centre around:

• narrative meaning and wider context

• clarity and intention

• style and technique

• formatting and punctuation

You may also choose to have an additional hour’s video call conversation with me, so we have a chance to:

• clarify meaning on any feedback points

• hold space for your responses – what you agreed with, or didn’t, and why

• acknowledge the positive qualities of your work

• discuss your ideas going forwards with the piece

• talk about future editing work if desired

Once we have agreed to work together and you have sent me your material, I will send you an editable Google Drive document with my feedback comments within two weeks. This email will also include the invoice to be paid via PayPal or bank transfer.

I am happy to receive writing of any kind, though I have most experience with memoir, poetry, short stories, and speculative fiction. I request that content warnings be included in the submission document or email. You can contact me at enniswelbourne@gmail.com, and I will aim to get back to you within a week!
