I've had many years of experience editing children's, middle-grade and YA books due to my publishing house Hashtag Press as well as critiquing manuscripts for authors who have enquired. I'm so passionate about helping authors as much as I can. I remember when I was starting out and just finding an editor I could trust that wasn't insanely expensive was so difficult. 

​

Due to my own writing schedule and editing my authors books, unfortunately I can't work on every book but do get in touch if interested and I will always be transparent about availability and costs.

​

I currently have a few slots available this year. To get more information please email me at info@a-bello.com

'"Getting feedback from Abiola Bello was such a fantastic experience! Reaching out to a professional author felt intimidating as someone writing as a hobby, but Abiola was friendly and kind in all discussions about the feedback process.

After sending my manuscript, Abiola was quick in reading through it, even though it was definitely a chunky project. The feedback she gave me was invaluable - giving me comprehensive notes on the overall story, my protagonist and love interest, and some of the other key parts of my story, not just on things that she thought were good, but also areas for improvement.

What really made such a difference was Abiola focused on areas I was concerned about, and gave detailed feedback and suggestions for how to make my manuscript better, but in such a kind and encouraging way.

As a writer, receiving feedback can be terrifying, especially when getting constructive feedback on things that need changing because it can feel negative and debilitating. Abiola removed all these concerns with the honest, constructive but also gentle and helpful feedback on my characters, plot and overall story. I couldn't recommend her more!"
