Magpie Literary Services provides freelance editing for authors, creative professionals, and businesses, along with select copywriting and author services packages.
Whether you’re looking for a simple proofread before publication or submission, or you need more in-depth structural or developmental editing, Magpie has you covered.
Together, we can make your story soar.
You’ve done the tough work. You’ve taken an idea and made it a reality… but what about revisions? It can be hard to know where to start, how to choose what to cut and what to keep, and a fresh view on your work can make all the difference.
For more on different types of editing, and what an editorial package can do for you, check out What Is Editing? and the FAQ.
From proofreading your novel to structural and story editing. Rates start as low as £8/1000 words, with discounts available.
Book an hour’s Skype or Zoom call to discuss your work “in person,” identify strengths and weaknesses, and plan your revisions with ease.

There are lots of editing services out there, but how do you find the right fit for you?
Magpie strives to offer a personal, individual service to each client. We never rely on automated grammar checkers or editing software, and your work will receive full, detailed attention, with in-depth comments and feedback from your editor.
We’re not happy until you are and, with discounts available for repeat clients, students, disabled or low/fixed income writers, and books in a series, the editorial package you want doesn’t need to be out of your reach.
"My first successful NaNoWriMo novel was my baby, but just because it was finished didn't mean it was perfect! The sheer depth of feedback I got was overwhelming at first, but I'm so grateful for it. The Skype call with my editor was amazing. She really got it, and was even more helpful than I hoped!”
"I could not be happier with Kezia's work. She has become the voice of my conscience, always giving me challenging, interesting, and thought-provoking points of view. She's punctual, conscientious, and always goes the extra mile to provide the best service possible. I would highly recommend her services.”
"Fast, thorough service. Magpie helped me streamline the process from first draft to finished book with thoughtful constructive criticism and a fine eye for detail. The discount also helped me save some money for my novel's marketing budget!”
The world is a better place when you pay it forward.
