Belinda Jones - Editor
London
I am tenacious, experienced, very lucky (I love my job), reliable, bright and not afraid to suggest ways of polishing text until it gleams.
Overview
I have been a book editor for over fifteen years, working both in-house and as a freelancer, in a wide variety of genres – fiction of all kinds being my true calling – with confidence, initiative and reliability. There is nothing I like better than working with an author: receiving a manuscript, giving it a good interrogation and commentary, and finishing it with a last, careful polish.
