Overview
Like the Three Little Bears, I've worked at tiny publishers, medium-sized publishers and even led editorial teams at one of the biggest: Oxford University Press. I now live in Cornwall, providing freelance editorial services to self-publishers, publishing houses, first-time and published authors.
I co-tutor a children's writing course, appraise manuscripts and also speak and write German.
I've worked across most genres but my favourites are Children's (Fiction and Non), History,
Nutrition, Lifestyle, Religion and Philosophy.
Let's work together to get your book published!
