Bonnie Craig – Editor

I help authors turn their writing into finished books in the fields of wellbeing, self-help, health, psychology, mental health, yoga, alternative therapies, parenting, social care and the arts. I've worked both in-house and freelance for publishers and charities since 2005.

I'd love to work with you to ensure your book is the best it can be, whether you need developmental and structural editing when you first finish your manuscript, or line or copy editing to tighten up your text for your intended audience. For many authors, I provide a combination of these services, and I particularly enjoy seeing a book through from first draft to final publication for those authors who book a full publishing package with me.

I know that sharing your book with someone else for the first time can be scary, and I'm here to make that process smooth and supportive.

It's important to me that I understand your project before we get started. I'll ask you questions to make sure I am clear on who it's for and what it needs to do. I might ask to see some of your previous writing projects to get a sense of your personal style and approach. We'll agree timescales and expectations and make sure that we're both happy with the process.

Along with your edited manuscript, I'll provide thorough notes, a list of any outstanding queries and a style guide/spellings list (if you don't already have one) for you to take forward to the next stage of production.

Alongside my publishing work, I have an MA in design and have completed the FC1 British Wheel of Yoga qualification. I live in Edinburgh, Scotland, where I enjoy exploring the beautiful city, coast and mountains when I'm not at my desk. And, of course, reading.

Wherever you're up to with your project, I'd love to hear about your book and share how I can help.
