Georgie Cauthery – Editor

Experienced editor, subeditor and proofreader with expertise in fiction and non fiction books and business news publications.

Overview

I’ve edited a range of titles and authors, mostly in crime and thriller and non-fiction. Previous projects have included Sophie Hannah’s Agatha Christie continuations, JRR Tolkien collections and the film tie-ins for the Fantastic Beasts series.

I also commission and edit print and online content for Raconteur, the leading B2B publisher.

I’m warm, approachable and collaborative to work with and always bring positivity and humour to what I do.
