Overview
I’m a freelance editor with over three years editing experience in the publishing industry (previous marketing and publicity experience in publishing, too).
I have worked on rom-coms, women's fiction, domestic thrillers, book club books, historical fiction and saga and have worked on unique diverse reads that are publishing in the next couple of years.
Big 5 experience including Penguin Random House (marketing and publicity), Harlequin/Mills & Boon and HarperCollins UK and my specialisms are in general fiction, women’s fiction, and romance (historical and contemporary).
At Harper Fiction I worked on Sunday Times bestselling novels, as well as acquiring and building my own list gaining a reputation for a keen rom-com eye and a knack for spotting a standout manuscript with bucket-loads of potential.
I offer a variety of editorial services, including in-depth manuscript critiques (including a comprehensive editorial letter), line-editing, and proofreading. Send me a message to discuss what option is right for you.
Let’s work together and make your book as commercially successful, fun and exceptional as it can possibly be.
