Emily Lovelock – Editor

Hello! I'm a professional editor with extensive experience developing successful non-fiction books.

My background is in developing textbooks for the university market across a wide range of subject areas, particularly history, literature, psychology, politics and business studies. I've also edited a number of titles on literature, theatre and creative writing aimed at the general non-fiction market. When I'm not working I enjoy reading (obviously!), ballet classes and spending time in my gorgeous English country surroundings with my fiancé and our little boy.

I'm enthusiastic and professional, with a wealth of knowledge about what makes a good book. I'm happy to support whatever goals you might have for your projects and am known for my organised and efficient approach. I'm thrilled to lend my expertise to all kinds of non-fiction projects so please do get in touch if you'd like to collaborate!
