Gillian Sore – Editor

My love for great story-telling began as a young reader when I would pick up a book and escape into pacy adventures and epic worlds. Later, I went on to study a BA in Film, where I learned how to write scripts and tell stories through visuals. Now, I'm an editor at Oxford University Press in the Children's Fiction team, where I develop new book concepts, craft storylines for authors, and edit manuscripts. I really enjoy working on tricky plot holes, injecting pace into stories, and creating coherent narrative arcs. I'm available for editing, copy editing, and proofreading middle grade (9-12) and YA projects. My areas of expertise are: • Working with debut authors and illustrators, developing new ideas, and plotting storylines. • Creative problem solving—helping others to work through the barriers holding back their project. • Using market knowledge to develop new intellectual property.• Project managing titles from concept to publication with a clear and organised approach.
