Overview

I am an experienced fiction editor with an innate passion for stories and a commercial knowledge of the book market garnered from over twelve years in the industry. I have worked for Hachette UK, both at Orion and Headline Publishing Group, where I commissioned a wide range of commercial to upmarket, literary fiction and drove the publishing strategy for titles which went on to be Sunday Times and New York Times bestsellers. I still work, on a freelance basis, with the authors I commissioned at Headline, amongst others. I love the creative, collaborative editorial process, nurturing talent, and helping writers bring novels to their full potential, as well as to the readership they deserve.
