About Wildland

Wildland was established in 2012 by author and editor Helen Sedgwick. We provide writers with personalised editorial advice, helping every story reach its full potential and resonate with its author’s unique voice.

We offer a wide range of editorial services and we work with writers of all levels of experience, as well as literary agents and publishers. Whether you’d like your novel to be professionally edited before publication, are looking for advice on short stories, or need supportive feedback on the first draft of your first book, we have the right service for you.

The editors at Wildland have the experience of working with publishers, agents, universities, and book festivals including Cargo Publishing, McSweeney’s, Jenny Brown Associates, Freight Books, Birlinn, EIBF, and Edinburgh University, and of editing magazines including Gutter, Fractured West, and From Glasgow to Saturn.

At Wildland we know that every piece of writing is unique, and our friendly approach reflects our commitment to preserving every writer’s individual style and intentions. We believe that good editing can strengthen every piece of writing, and that a close relationship between writers and editors is essential.
