Hannah Smith – Editor

I'm an award-winning Publisher specialising in commercial romance, historical and women's fiction for Penguin Random House. I love both the strategic and editorial side of publishing, getting to work closely with authors, I always aim to bring out the best in your work through a collaborative, communicative service. I work with my authors throughout the editorial process, across editorial letters outlining bigger structural changes - plot, pace, characterisation etc. - to line-edits which take a more granular approach to reviewing the story at an inline level.

Drawing on years of experience, and numerous bestsellers across digital and print publishing, I've helped authors achieve magnificent reviews on Goodreads and Amazon, I'm here to help work manuscripts into their best possible shape ahead of self publication or agent submission and querying.

I've worked across a multitude of global publications, with titles hitting bestseller charts across the world and I always aim for the highest possible quality in mine, and my author's work.

I can offer advice on developmental edits, copy-editing and publishing strategy. I truly lovely working with authors from the earliest stages of creative development and watching them flourish!
