Nicola Evans – Editor

I’m an editor with over 15 years of in-house and freelance experience at both independent and major publishers. I have worked on a wide-range of genres including cookery, biography, history, politics, current affairs, self-help, travel, humour, true crime, literary fiction and thrillers. I have worked with high-profile authors and have guided many first-time writers through the publishing process.

I enjoy collaborating with an author in order to get your work into the best shape it can possibly be before it reaches an audience. I can provide a light edit, extensive guidance and everything in between – we will discuss before I start working how deep you would like the copyedit or proofread to go. Careful and thorough, I have a keen eye for a typo and will correct things such as spelling, punctuation, grammar, syntax, tense and formatting. I will fact-check and ensure consistency regarding timeline, plot, stylistic choices, formatting and front- and endmatter. I am always mindful of retaining an author’s voice and will offer suggestions and comments with regards to style rather than simply going ahead and making changes. I am on hand to respond to messages punctually. No job is too big or too small. I look forward to hearing from you.
