Sandy Draper - Editor
Hampshire, United Kingdom
Sandy is a seasoned editor of non-fiction and fiction titles, and has been helping authors 'give birth' to their books for 20 years.
Overview
I worked for more than 10 years in-house in various editorial roles before turning freelance in 2007. I have since worked with DK Books, Watkins Media, Hay House UK, HarperCollins, Summersdale Publishers, AA Publishing, Allison & Busby and Vegetarian Living magazine, as well as self-publishers of fiction and non-fiction titles. I've worked with lots of very talented authors and been kindly described in epithets such as 'literary doula' and 'fairy godmother' but I think commercially savvy 'trusted pair of hands' suits me best.

Sandy not only gave me a thorough developmental review of my book with 3 strong passes, she taught me so much about the editorial process from the perspective of a traditional publishing house. With her caring guidance I learned to write clearer copy for my intro, synthesize the formatting and flow throughout the book, and address legal issues such as permissions, so I wouldn't run into trouble...
Emily Maher, September 2017
I enjoyed working with Sandy. She gave me constructive advice and made herself available whenever I needed to ask a question or send her a chapter. No doubt I'll use her expert services in the future.
Kathleen Rutherford, July 2017
Sandy is a consummate professional with an innate ability to connect with you personally around your content and distil and refine your message. She was a pleasure to work with and I look forward to further collaborations with her on book projects.
Rand Leeb-du Toit, March 2017
This is our second book with Sandy and the experience is even smoother then ever! She is passionate and communicative, innovative and pro-active. In short it was an absolute pleasure to work with her! She made our book from good to amazing, so much fun and a smooth read! Thank you Sandy for everything!!
Roy Shapira, January 2017
I'm absolutely thrilled with the specificity, sensitivity and intelligence of Sandy Draper's editorial assessment of my book-length manuscript. She has provided me with a helpful map for revising the text in preparation for copy editing and layout. Her awareness of my topic, the market, and the readership is spot on and gives me confidence to move forward.
