Amber Hatch – Editor

I've published six books in wellbeing and parenting with major publishers and my work has been translated into 17 languages. I have titles published by Penguin Random House (2015), Watkins Publishing (2015, 2016, & 2017) and Little, Brown (2017) and Profile (2024).

I've worked as a literary consultant editing fiction and non-fiction for ten years, including for Watkins Publishing. I ghostwrite for traditional publishers (including Penguin Random House) via the Graham Maw Christie literary agency.

I have an MA in Creative Writing from Bath Spa University (distinction), and a BA in English Lit (first class). I've taught writing skills at Oxford University and Creative Writing for Wellbeing for mental health charity Mind.

I work with authors who are passionate about their story or idea, and are committed to writing their best manuscript. I know it can be daunting working with an editor and I repay that trust by taking my work – and yours –very seriously. I'm always honest in my feedback. I'll help you identify strengths and weaknesses and find solutions to make your writing as powerful and as effective as can be.

Whether you are self-publishing or looking to traditional publishing, I'll help you shape up your manuscript so that you tell your story with authenticity and power. I enjoy working with authors over a longer time frame and can offer a mentoring package. I'm also available as a ghostwriter.

I can sometimes offer a fast turnaround, please ask for more details if time is short.
