Donna Bond – Editor

For over twenty years, I’ve worked across the spectrum of genre publishing, collaborating with major houses and independent authors to bring bold, imaginative fiction to life. I specialise in science fiction and fantasy—everything from sweeping space opera to intimate, character‑driven fantasy—but I’ve also edited horror, crime, and the occasional literary curveball. My work as a copy‑editor and proofreader is well‑regarded within the SFF community, and several anthology projects I’ve edited have received award nominations and industry recognition, including wins in major UK genre awards. I’ve contributed to publishers such as Games Workshop/Black Library, Angry Robot, Gollancz, Rebellion/Solaris, Immanion Press, and others throughout my career.

When we work together, you can expect a friendly, collaborative process grounded in clarity, precision, and a genuine love of genre storytelling. I’m here to help you sharpen your prose, strengthen your worldbuilding, and ensure your manuscript reads as cleanly and professionally as possible without sanding away your voice. Whether you’re polishing a debut novel or refining your latest epic, I bring a meticulous eye for detail, a deep understanding of SFF conventions, and a supportive editorial style that keeps your creative vision at the centre. My services focus on copy‑editing and proofreading for science fiction and fantasy manuscripts, where I have extensive, long‑term experience.
