George Brooker – Editor

I’m an editorial director with eight years experience working at multiple international publishers. I've worked across many non-fiction genres, from memoir and popular history to health, lifestyle, and expert-led books.

I’ve commissioned and edited for household names and first-time authors alike, including many Sunday Times bestsellers. My authors and partners have included celebrities, experts, heritage brands and people with extraordinary stories to tell.

Through Reedsy, I offer a range of editorial services, including developmental editing, line editing and proofreading. I love working with authors and taking a raw manuscript and shaping its structure, concept and content to make it clear, commercial and true to your voice.

I also offer publishing consultancy services. With nearly a decade of experience in what publishers are looking for, I'm happy to advise on pitching and positioning your project, and preparing a proposal for agents and publishers. I have developed publishing plans for many authors encompassing everything from marketing and publicity ideas to target audiences and retailers. As a decision maker, I can help you understand how acquisitions decisions are made, and planning a book’s path to market.
