Hi, I'm Armelle

I'm an editor with seven years of experience editing books for independent Australian publishing houses. I've worked in-house and freelance across a range of titles from literary fiction to crime and from personal development to cookbooks.

I offer manuscript assessments, structural editing, copyediting and proofreading for authors and publishers.

Testimonials

Here are some nice things authors have said about me in their books' acknowledgements.
Avi Duckor-Jones, author of Max

"Armelle Davies, your loving, compassionate editing has made me feel so supported and seen. Your intelligent and discerning editorial eye has helped craft my manuscript into the novel it is today. I can’t thank you enough."

Bronwyn Birdsall, author of Time and Tide in Sarajevo

"I’m lucky to have had Armelle Davies as my editor, who understood this book deeply and was a joy to collaborate with."

Rachael Mogan McIntosh, author of Pardon My French

"My editor Armelle caught all the places where I repeated my gags and said wildly idiotic things, and I’m only devastated she cannot follow me around in life performing this function."

Location

Naarm/Melbourne, Australia

I respectfully acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation, the original storytellers and custodians of the place where I live and work. Their connection to Country remains strong, and their sovereignty was never ceded.
