Heather Bateman – Editor

Experienced editor / proofreader / indexer helping authors achieve the perfect professional polish. Worked at A&C Black and Kogan Page.

Overview

A little about me: I have more than 20 years’ experience in non-fiction publishing, in a number of editorial roles, and have worked on hundreds of titles over the years (just a selection are listed here!)

I love helping authors share their expertise and create a book they can be really proud of. I can iron out the wrinkles in your writing and take your manuscript to polished perfection.

Get in touch for a chat about the services you’re looking for on your non-fiction book. I’ll be happy to talk through timescales and fees that work for you.

First-time writers and non-native English speakers are very welcome.
