Black Cat Editorial Services offers sensitive, thoughtful and thorough proofreading and copy-editing, specialising in fiction and narrative (or creative) non-fiction. Clients benefiting from these services include publishers and independent authors.

I’m Hannah McCall and I have worked on more than 80 projects since 2015, including memoirs, fantasy fiction and short-story collections. All of these have been completed to the highest editorial standards, while respecting and strengthening the author’s voice.

Why should you choose Black Cat Editorial Services?

• You’ll receive a service tailored to and appropriate for your needs and the project, and I’ll work with you directly. There is no one-size-fits-all approach at Black Cat.
• I have four years’ experience working with publishers, independent authors, academics and students. You will benefit from the knowledge and expertise I have accumulated through thousands of hours of editorial work.
• My clients recommend me. In fact, in the last financial year 75% of my work was commissioned by repeat clients.
• I’m highly trained, and I am a Professional Member of the Society for Editors and Proofreaders (SfEP). I’ve proven my experience and skills to the SfEP, and I follow their code of practice. In addition, I’m the coordinator for the SfEP’s West Surrey and North Hampshire local group.
