Your mentor, Jill Marshall

Novelist, fiction editor, co-creator, strategist

Author of 20+ novels including the best-selling Jane Blonde series, publishing industry editor, podcaster and creative consultant, I’ve worked with writers, books and in publishing for over two decades and love mentoring new talent. My approach blends craft, commercial insight and straight-talking encouragement.
 

Why This Works

  • Learn by doing, not just watching.

  • Leave with a portfolio, testimonials and the skills to take on real clients.

  • Direct access to me - not just a faceless course platform.

The Fiction Editor Mentorship Programme

The Programme in a Nutshell

A 6-month small-group mentoring programme with Jill Marshall - bestselling author, experienced editor, publishing insider.
 

This is not an online learning package. It’s a professional training and portfolio-building programme for aspiring and emerging fiction editors, covering technical mastery, author-ready editing and business growth.

It’s hands-on learning with real novels, direct feedback and the skills to grow your editing career. You graduate with the skills, the tools, and (importantly) the confidence to take on paying clients.

​

What the Programme Contains

Not Just a Course - A Career Catalyst
 

Over 6 months, you’ll get:

  • Live calls every two weeks - practical workshops, discussion, and Q&A

  • Real manuscript projects - edit full novels (if Pro/VIP selected) with guided feedback from me

  • Tailored feedback - on your edits and your client approach

  • Resource library - glossary, templates, sample reports

  • Business insights - pricing, client acquisition, and workflow tips

  • Optional alumni network - ongoing peer support

Who the Programme's For

  • Aspiring fiction editors wanting confidence and credibility

  • Copy editors and proofreaders wanting to add to their portfolio

  • Experienced editors wanting to refine fiction-specific skills

  • Authors looking to add editing to their professional toolkit

  • Book-lovers looking for a book-related career 

  • Graduates in English LIterature, Creative Writing and more seeking a satisfying career

  • Editors seeking freedom through a freelance career or pathways through a traditional publishing route

​

I came to Jill’s mentoring programme with a fair amount of fiction editing experience, but what I needed was a real boost - to my confidence, my business and my creative range. Jill has encouraged me to explore new styles and genres, helped me refine how I give feedback in a way that’s both honest and supportive, and pushed me to step into the full value of what I offer. Her guidance has helped me elevate my existing business and I know I can now move forward with clarity and purpose.
