About

About Amy

Amy Davies

My name is Amy, editing under the business name amyedits, and I’m based in Greater Manchester, England. My passion is working with writers and independent publishers and creating editing experiences that are easy, affordable, and professional. I love helping authors achieve their writing and publishing dreams, and I am always honoured to help a client improve their writing and be a part of their publishing journeys.

My favourite genres to edit: Literary horror & high fantasy with monstrous word counts.

My favourite book: It’s very hard to say at this point; I love loads of books; but I’m always inclined to say The Secret History by Donna Tartt, because if it’s not number one it’s at least top three.

My biggest obsession: Coffee. Hands down.

My personality in five words: Introverted, friendly, neurotic, conscientious, good.

My interests and hobbies: Reading and writing are obvious ones, so I’ll skip past those. I would like to say that I’m a green thumb, but I’ve accidentally killed a few too many plants at this stage to say I’m a successful gardener. I also enjoy cross-stitching, puzzles, and I’m a good baker. If you can’t tell, I’m a bit of a homebody.

My USPs: I am all-in with my editing career. This is my full-time employment, and I endeavour to make long standing commitments to long-term projects. Six years in I continue to educate myself and keep my skills tip-top, so that my clients feel confident coming back to me time and time again. I am an editor, but all my clients gain me as a pillar of support throughout the writing process. Communication will never waver if I am on your team.
