Overview
As a non-fiction editor, my aim is to help experts in their field reach a wide audience with a book that is accessible, clear and informative -- whether you're a nutritionist, a heart surgeon, a hypnobirthing coach or a psychiatrist, I can help you turn your expertise into a book that will jump off the shelves and into the hands of readers. I am passionate about books that help people to improve their lives and inspire them to reach their goals. I also always have a finger on the pulse of pop culture, and I enjoy working on entertainment, trend and humour titles too.
I've worked with many first-time authors to shape their ideas into easily digestible content for a mass market. The key to an excellent non-fiction book is a rock solid structure, helpful signposting and an engaging voice that readers can relate to. If you have a brilliant idea and a wealth of knowledge, but you're not sure how to get it down on paper, I'm here to help. My style is to provide constructive criticism along with positive feedback on what is working in order tease out the best bits and expand on them. Editing is a collaborative process and I like to work together with authors to ensure their book is the very best it can be. They will still be your words, but better.
Expect honest feedback, thorough editing and excessively polite emails.
I look forward to working with you.
