Emma Capron – Editor

Hello!

My name is Emma and I’ve been working in publishing for over fifteen years as a publisher of NEW YORK TIMES and SUNDAY TIMES bestselling commercial fiction. Today, I work directly with authors in a freelance capacity, bringing everything I've learned in traditional publishing to writers like you.

Over the years, I've collaborated with everyone from debut authors to major continuing brands. I've had the privilege of working with NEW YORK TIMES bestselling authors Colleen Hoover, Rebecca Serle, Lyla Sage and Navessa Allen, as well as SUNDAY TIMES bestsellers Beth O'Leary, Lynda La Plante, Louise Candlish, Paige Toon, Heidi Swain and many more.

I'm known in the industry for my professional excellence and for the care I bring to every editorial relationship. I work sensitively and collaboratively, tailoring my approach to each project to help make your book the strongest version of itself. Whether you're aiming for traditional publication or self-publishing success, I offer extensive, hands-on experience across all commercial genres to help you reach your goals.

My services are available below but I'm also happy to design bespoke packages to support your unique publishing journey.

If you'd like to hear more about how I work with my clients, drop me a message. Helping authors discover their voice is one of my greatest joys, and being a part of that process is a true privilege.

I look forward to meeting you and hearing all about your work-in-progress!

TESTIMONIALS:

'Emma has brought so much to my novels. She has a brilliantly creative brain, a smart, commercial eye and a real skill for pulling more out of a book than you knew it had to give. I feel very lucky to have had her input on so many of my books, and I know they're much stronger for it' Beth O'Leary, author of SWEPT AWAY

'I loved working with Emma. She completely understood what I was trying to say and saw potential in even the earliest stages of a project. From big structural edits to the minutiae that make a novel sing, Emma is able to get the best out of her writers while never taking away their authentic voice. She is thoughtful, conscientious and collaborative' Laura Kay, author of WILD THINGS

'I've been lucky enough to have Emma edit both my novels. Her editorial skills, from looking at the big sweeping picture of structure to the more delicate line edits are second to none. While Emma is always thorough, she is also kind, pragmatic and only ever positive in her approach to a manuscript' Nydia Hetherington, author of SYCORAX
