Alice Harman – Editor

I am a highly experienced author, editor and author coach, specialising in children's books. I have worked with authors to develop original, high-quality titles for respected publishers including Hachette, Quarto, Thames and Hudson, HarperCollins and Cambridge University Press. I would love to use my experience and publishing insight to help you make your book the best it can possibly be.

Do you want honest, constructive feedback on your book? An eagle eye for the brilliant details to highlight and the little imperfections to pick out? An understanding of how to make your book stand out to publishers and parents and also give it real kid appeal? Fantastic! Sounds like we'll be a perfect match.

I have 10+ years' experience as an editor of children's books, working with authors such as former Children's Laureate Joseph Coelho and hugely popular author–illustrator Yuval Zommer. I offer development editing, copy editing and proofreading.

I also began offering 1–to–1 author coaching and editorial assessments in 2021 and have hugely enjoyed working with new and aspiring authors to build their confidence and knowledge while helping them to make their brilliant books the best that they can be.
