Emily Wells – Editor

Senior Editor @ Hodder & Stoughton specialising in Christian books and Bibles.

Overview

I am an editor with experience publishing educational and Christian lifestyle books. I currently work for Hodder & Stoughton/John Murray Press as Senior Editor, publishing the best-selling book of all time (the Bible, no less!) and have previously worked for Hodder Education.


I love working with authors of non-fiction to bring to life the word that is on their heart, whether that be a devotional, a testimony, or a resource that unpacks the Bible. Whether you need broad edits to get the pace, tone and structure of your work just right for your intended reader, or a forensic look at spelling, grammar and punctuation to add the finishing touches to your work, I can help.

Emily is a model professional. Not only is she punctual and informative with her corrections, especially in regards to her proofreading, her work is adaptable to whatever format you are using (doc, pdf, etc), which was really helpful for a novice author like myself. She is fantastic value for money and genuinely turned my book from something with potential into a refined piece of work that I'm...
