Immy Gemmell Editing Services
The book editor for big ideas.
Written something you love, and now you need someone you can trust with it?
Hey, I’m Immy. I edit novels and non-fiction. Nothing’s too off the beaten track around here.
My focus isn’t genre or your level of experience: it’s your story. Your ideas.
As an editor, my primary focus is to work behind-the-scenes to hand back to you a manuscript which leaves no trace I was there. I want your words to flow and your manuscript to have no weaknesses. All you should feel is confident and excited about your finished work! That’s what I’m here for.
I offer line and structural editing, and I edit only what’s necessary to make your work crystal clear. Accuracy and consistency are one side of the coin; creativity and genuine care are the other.
When we work together, I believe in your voice and your story. I adapt to your writing style. Whether you’re from the UK or across the pond, I’ll adapt to your “izms” or “isms.”
Your work should be entirely itself: everything you intended it to be.
How I work
As a freelancer, I edit your manuscript in its entirety from start to finish myself. Unlike bigger companies, I don’t outsource any work. This means you know exactly who you’re trusting, at all times. I pride myself on the way I approach each job: I get to know you, your ideas, and really get into the soul of the manuscript.
Our relationship is about honest communication, trust and a shared love of your manuscript. In that vein, my inbox stays open at all times to answer any of your questions and keep you updated. I work on MS Word with Track Changes, though I can use different mediums if you’d prefer.
I have been editing various books and essays since 2021, most recently working on a CUP-published theological book by Dr. Graham Twelftree. I have a degree in English Language and Literature from University of Oxford, where I held post as Editor on a journal, and am myself a published poet and writer.
“Immy has an exceptional ability with words. She took our rough drafts and refined them perfectly. She saw the changes we needed in our story and walked us through them clearly and so generously. I highly recommend her.”
