Our Mission

The Ivatt Editorial Consultancy has four mission statements:

  1. To deliver high-quality editorial and consultancy services to authors and publishing professionals, specialising in fantasy fiction.

  2. To design, promote and apply our unique editorial approach, which combines editing expertise with Change Management and Lean Six Sigma methodologies.

  3. To raise awareness of chronic illnesses, long-term health conditions and disabilities, and to create future ways of working for such individuals in the editing industry.

  4. To partner with literary agents and publishers nationwide.

How will we achieve this?

We will measure success by:

  1. Building a list of returning clients, including independent authors, literary agents, editors and other publishing professionals.

  2. Writing and publishing a book on our editing approach, as well as templates and tools for elevating a manuscript, protecting consistency, and encouraging realistic characters.

  3. Forging strong partnerships with publishers and literary agents, who use the Ivatt Editorial Consultancy as a go-to source of editors and consultants.

  4. To host a list of freelancers, which will aim to have a certain percentage of editors who identify as having a chronic illness, long-term health condition, or disability.
