editing and storytelling for creative humans.

My name is Ali. With over eight years of experience in the field, and training by some of Australia's most prestigious and cutting-edge writers and editors, I know how to make stories stand out to publishers. Let's work together to perfect your plot!

I'm currently available for editing & book coaching.

want to get your story out there?

After graduating with a degree in creative writing & literary studies, I spent several years reading, writing, and editing. A fascination with the literary scene in Australia led me to train with Nicola O'Shea and other Australian editors, to learn about the market and how to make stories and their characters stand out.

Home: Welcome

let's work together.

Editing & Critiquing

Does the reader really get what the story is about? Do I? Combat the head scratching that comes with editing a hefty first draft and make clarity your priority by hiring an editor. You can choose from a range of services that suit your needs and budget.

Book Coaching

Got a manuscript in progress? I offer coaching and support services to help writers flourish and get out of the constant blocks and dead-ends.

If you need advice, guidance or mentoring during the crafting process of your manuscript, I'm here to help.

Writing

Whether it’s website copy, blog posts, branding or fiction writing, I can help you connect with your audience and convey your message meaningfully.

TESTIMONIALS

I had my short story collection edited by Ali at Paperhouse Editing and can't recommend her highly enough. Besides a professional and friendly attitude, I found myself slapping my forehead at the million details I never would have caught if it weren't for Ali's proofreading, even after I'd gone over each line many times. The end result was stronger prose, no continuity errors, and an overall smoother read. I'd recommend Paperhouse to anyone who writes fiction and wants to make sure their work is professional quality before submitting.

get to know Ali.

An editor and writer living in Melbourne, I have trained in the art of the written word for the past eight years. I likes to think of my role as a professional reader, but of course editing and manuscript development involves more than that. As a writer, I know that it can be so hard to find time to write and focus on the story without getting bogged down in the editing process. What better way to achieve your goals than hiring an editor to look over your endless drafts. That way you have more time to write while I do my thang (not a typo) to take your story to the next level and get you published.

"there is nothing higher than fiction. nothing. it is fundamentally who I am. I am a teller of stories."
