Overview
I'm an experienced fiction editor. I published bestsellers and award-winners in my previous in-house role at Echo Publishing/Bonnier Books UK. Prior to that I was a book reviewer, and I edited Books+Publishing, Australia and New Zealand’s book trade magazine. I specialise in structural and story editing and advice. I also copy edit and proofread (UK English). Genres I am experienced in include crime fiction and thrillers, historical fiction, general commercial fiction, literary fiction, speculative fiction and some romance. My main strengths are character, narrative logic, and pacing. I am also a published, award-winning author, and am currently a lecturer in a master's level writing and publishing course.
I am absolutely passionate about working on books and working with authors. I believe in integrity in the editor–author relationship, and I will work with you if I truly feel I can do the manuscript justice. I am approachable, generous, but no-nonsense – I am serious about the work! I have great relationships ongoing with the authors I have worked with, as it can be an intimate process (particularly developmental and structural editing). I look forward to hearing from you.
