Emily Dewhurst – Editor

I am an experienced editor with a special interest in cookery and food and drink titles.

Overview

I've worked across all aspects of publishing during my career - editorial, commissioning, marketing and even a touch of page layout and design - and am now publisher at Kitchen Press. I work with restaurants, markets, bloggers and authors and offer freelance services as an editor at any stage of a book's development. If you are a prospective author, I can help you with everything from the initial assessment through to finalising the book for print.
