Overview

As an English Literature and Philosophy graduate from the University of Birmingham (UK), books are my passion. Books are unique in their ability to change the world, even long after their author has gone. As a freelance book editor, I utilise my skills and knowledge to help authors deliver books that are worth reading.

With over 10 years of experience, I’ve worked as a freelancer and in-house for the UK's leading global ICT publisher (Packt Publishing). I've proofread over 400 books on a range of ICT & tech subjects—often written by non-native speakers—and copyedited over 20 manager’s guides on business topics for Impackt Publishing.

As a freelancer, I've edited 50+ books in the genres of self-improvement/self-help, business development, leadership/management, entrepreneurship, philosophy, and more. I’ve worked with authors from first-timers to New York Times bestsellers. You can see a selection of the books I’ve edited below.

Why me?

With so many editors out there, the question is always, why choose me? Aside from my substantial knowledge of the English language and my experience in the publishing industry, I’m a conscientious individual who believes that we should all strive to make the world a better place for others, whether that's through writing a book or in other ways. I travelled the world for a year, exploring different cultures and working from far and wide, and my experience and philosophical training translates to deep, critical thinking. So if you choose me as your editor, you’ll get a constructive, honest, and challenging critique of your book that will make it better.

What I do...
My substantial industry experience means I know what readers want and how to deliver it. I'll provide honest feedback on the quality of your book, plus comprehensive guidance on how to improve it. Together, we'll ensure your book is the best it can possibly be—clear, well-structured, compelling, and informative. If required, I can also help with your contents page, glossary, author bio, and blurb. So, whether you're a non-native speaker, a first-time author, are self-publishing, or something else, please get in touch—and let's bring your book to life!
