Having worked as an editor across ‘big five’ publishers such as Little, Brown and Headline, as well as the UK’s fastest growing publisher, Tara knows what it takes to create a bestselling novel. She’s worked on Sunday Times bestsellers, as well as chart topping digital bestsellers, and is experienced in taking a novel from an idea to a published masterpiece. She loves working with authors, and offers structural/developmental editing.
Tara has edited crime novels such as The Locksmith, as well as romantic escapism like A Year at the French Farmhouse and paranormal romance such as Burn. She also teaches writing – from sci fi & fantasy to romance to women’s fiction – for Writers & Artists and The Irish Writers Centre.
There is hardly an area of fiction Tara hasn’t published into. She knows what agents, editors and readers are looking for, and is keen to help ensure your manuscript grabs their attention, whether you’re interested in self-publishing or traditional publishing.
Bestselling author testimonials for Tara:
“I was lucky to have Tara as an editor on my third novel. She helped me so much with the story development, both in the initial stages and throughout. Always enthusiastic and full of ideas, she was great to brainstorm with and we found our way through numerous plot tangles together. She wrangled my overlong draft into something much tighter and pushed me to be more daring in exploring the novel’s themes. She has a keen instinct for what makes a story work and I highly recommend Tara for writers at all stages of the writing journey.”
