Crime fiction

I have edited everything from gritty mystery thrillers to cosy crime novels. My eye for imperfection and my attentiveness to plot make me an expert in this genre.

If you are a crime, mystery, whodunit, or thriller writer, then concision and continuity are critical to the success of your novel. In a good crime novel, any line could provide the key to solving the mystery. A professional, comprehensive copyedit is essential.

For copyediting crime fiction I charge £0.01 per word (£10 per 1,000 words).

“Georgina Asfaw provided both the copyedit and proofread for my mystery thriller Ask for Mercy and I couldn’t be happier with her work. With her expert knowledge and appreciation for the genre, as well as her forensic eye for detail, she was the perfect editor. She picked up all my punctuation mistakes, continuity errors, and helped me to better orientate the reader through a number of complex flashback scenes. Efficient, prompt and professional, I would recommend Georgina to any writer but particularly anyone writing in the crime genre.“
