Overview
I am an experienced fiction editor based in London, UK, with fourteen years experience in the publishing industry, and the co-founder of award-winning independent publisher, Influx Press.
Influx Press has published over fifty titles since 2012, with many critically acclaimed novels, non-fiction works, and short story collections.
In 2018, Influx Press won the Republic of Conscious Prize for best small publisher.
In 2022, our title The Trees was shortlisted for the prestigious Booker Prize.
My freelance editorial clients include Dead Ink, Titan Books, Unbound, among many others.
Some highlights from my portfolio include:
BOY PARTS by Eliza Clark. This has sold 60,000+ copies to date in the UK, is being developed for television, and is currently being translated into several languages.
LAMB – Matt Hill
WATER SHALL REFUSE THEM – Lucie McKnight Hardy
ESC & CTRL – Steve Hollyman
THE SERVICE – Frankie Miren
TERMINAL ZONES – Gareth E. Rees
Titles I have worked on have received significant national press coverage in publication such as The Guardian, Telegraph, VICE, The i, BBC, The Quietus, and many more. They have been translated and published in numerous countries outside of the UK, and launched the successful writing careers of several writers.
I have a passion for weird fiction, place-focused writing and literary speculative fiction and am always excited to work on manuscripts from new writers.
I offer development edits, copyedits, and proofreading, providing advice on structure, character and plot, copy-edits to address style, tone and consistency, and proofreading.
I like to work in dialogue with the author, offering sensitive and insightful feedback to help highlight your unique voice and to tell your story in the best way possible.
I look forward to working with you!
