Anya Wallace-Cook ā€“ Editor

6 years of experience at Penguin Random House UK, specialising in ebook quality control with excellent proofreading skills.

Overview

Iā€™m a conscientious and organised publishing professional with 6 years of experience at Penguin Random House UK. I specialise in ebooks including proofreading text, quality controlling formatting, and editing code. This experience has given me incredibly strong attention-to-detail skills meaning I can spot the smallest of typos in all file types including PDF, Word, Open Text and EPUB.


My skills and experience mean that I am positioned to help you produce the very best digital editions of your work. In addition to proofreading a range of genres, I can improve formatting and take your requests to edit the EPUB code, ensuring that your ebook meets your requirements. I am also an expert in proofreading ebook files against a print-ready document to identify and fix any errors that may have occurred in conversion processes.


I have worked on a range of fiction and non-fiction titles including many high-profile authors but specialise in Women's Fiction by authors such as Dolly Alderton, Romance including E L Jame's 'Fifty Shades of Grey' anniversary editions, Mystery & Crime such as Lisa Jewell's catalogue, Biographies and Memoirs such as 'Spare' by Prince Harry and 'Becoming' by Michelle Obama and Cookery including Jamie Oliver's last 8 cookbooks - from '5 Ingredients' to '5 Ingredients Mediterranean.' As well as being comfortable working on high-profile books and familiar with high levels of discretion, I treat all proofreading jobs with equal importance. I am as scrupulous with debut authors as I am with the biggest names. No matter the work, I will ensure the best quality possible.


I am originally from the UK and have a First Class BA Hons in English Literature. I am currently travelling in Australia and am looking to use my proofreading and quality control skills to fund my adventures. I communicate clearly and can work flexibly to suit all projects.
