Faye Robinson

Faye Robinson – Editor

A personable and detail-oriented editor with 5+ years' experience working at a leading publisher.

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 copy-editing 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.
