How it all works
At Epic Writing I have three main priorities for your editing journey:
You don’t feel alone—I guide you through every step while reassuring and cheering you on along the way.
You have fun—editing doesn’t have to be scary or stressful. Let me share my unique process and you’ll see exactly what I mean.
You become confident—because my unique editing process is a collaborative one, I explain every single step, edit, and comma. You gain a strong understanding and unwavering confidence in every single change, making you a stronger writer.
Still unsure? Book a quick 30-minute chat and I’ll answer all your questions!

Meet your Editor
I can’t be your editor if you don’t trust me.
And ya can’t trust someone ya don’t know. So, let’s go…
I’m Khadijah, and I’ve studied books and stories my entire life, when even as a child I felt the need to prove to those around me I wasn’t “wasting my time” reading (ugh, people).
When I grew up, I became an editor. Then a writing coach. I quickly realised the publishing and writing world was being polluted with trends, money-making schemes, and unnecessary writing rules. They were suffocating the soul of great writing.
So, I decided to do something different.
Slowly, I pieced together the secrets of irresistible storytelling. Both in Fiction and Non-Fiction. So now, I help writers like you unlock that creative spark and harness it to write stories that readers can’t put down.
But there’s another side to me as well. I’m a mother to 4 beautiful children. I have a husband. And housework, cooking, playdates… and a laundry mountain the size of Snowdon (we all just climb over it at this point. Denial is bliss).
I understand what it’s like when responsibilities start tugging you away from your bookish dreams, and I weave that understanding into every service I offer, every Zoom call I make, and every email I send.
We’re women writers—no use hiding behind the reality of what our lives are like!
Khadijah is genuine and approachable. She is very knowledgeable and presents a credible perspective. It was a joy speaking with her, and learning from her.
[My favourite part of the service was] chatting with Khadijah and the openness and comfort she provides the client.

Editing Services—What do they all mean?
-
Editorial Critique
Right, you can’t read your manuscript ANYMORE! You know it needs a redraft but… where to start?
You start with ME.
I assess the key areas of your book and send you a full report outlining what works well and what needs improving. Chapter-by-chapter, page-by-page. -
Step 1: Developmental
Roll your sleeves up! This is about as Epic as it gets…
I look at the big picture of your work – the content/plot, the pacing, the structure, and your purpose. And for you fiction writers we take a good hard look at those pesky characters.You receive a full developmental analysis report highlighting what needs to change and how to do it.
With 2 rounds of developmental edits AND Zoom calls, I take you with me on the editing journey and we work together to tighten that draft, buff up your structure and drive that manuscript with purpose. -
Step 2: Line & Copyedit
Time to get the microscope out and make your words shine.
I tweak and tinker with your language use and sentence structure while still retaining your unique writing voice.
Want to make sure your language is suitable for your audience?
Worried about missing inconsistencies after all those redrafts? (Seriously, your character’s hair colour has changed at least 5 times).
Don’t worry—the line and copyedit catches it all. -
Step 3: Proofread
Now we need to tidy up all those changes, get our formatting on point and dust off your manuscript so it’s ready to impress agents, publishers, and those harsh Goodreads Reviewers (They spot typos in the dark. It’s sorcery, I tell you).
Proofreading is the last stage before your project is sent into the world!
This service is often used after a manuscript has been designed, illustrated, and/or typeset.
