Alexandra Chapman – Editor

Book editor currently working at the Master Publisher for Disney and Marvel in the UK. Looking forward to hearing about your project!

Overview

I have always been passionate about books and the world of publishing - I insisted I wanted to be an editor from the age of 12 and here I am! I completed my degree in English Literature at Cardiff University, during which I dipped my toe into children's literature and creative writing. After a brief career in legal aid law administration, I took up a job at Igloobooks, an imprint of Bonnier Books, in July 2019, where I (happily!) remain to this day.

I specialise in children's literature, but also have experience in editing adult titles on the topics of health and wellbeing, mysticism and spirituality, puzzle, game and craft. My services include proofreading, copywriting, researching, fact-checking, improving flair and other general editorial tasks. I have also been working as a freelancer for two years and have completed a range of creative writing projects including story and poetry writing and producing marketing copy.

Work experience

Igloobooks

Jul, 2019 — Present

I began as a junior editor on the Licensing Team, working predominately on Disney and Marvel titles. These included storybooks, activity books and colouring books. I then transferred to the Adult Team in April 2022, to work on a variety of non-fiction lifestyle titles, with genres such as health and wellbeing and mysticism.

I appreciate the feedback it is going to help me a lot making my book better. As for all the extra characters are important as they are part of feature books I have plans to write 10 books in volume one that have connections to many of my other projects. I have over 50 of them planned so
