Faye Robinson

Faye Robinson – Editor

A personable and detail-oriented editor with 7+ years' experience working at leading publishers.

Overview

My name is Faye and I'm an in-house managing editor for Bloomsbury Publishing, a leading publisher in the UK. I have project managed and edited hundreds of titles across a wide array of genres, from self-help and highly illustrated coffee table books, to edge-of-your-seat thrillers and dark, gothic fiction.

I'm available for copyediting and proofreading.

I can edit using Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF and will always track the changes so that you can see and approve all the alterations I make.

I love giving manuscripts the attention they deserve and will always be kind and thoughtful in my feedback. This is your book and your voice, and I will do my best to work with you in perfecting that.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
