Dawn Henderson – Editor

I'm an editor with a specialism in lifestyle, particularly health, wellness and mind-body-spirit. I'm also a yoga teacher (RYT 200).

Overview

I'm a publishing professional with a 25-year background in illustrated non-fiction book publishing, particularly lifestyle – I managed DK's (PRH) lifestyle list for almost 15 years. I provide copywriting and editing services for a variety of lifestyle publishers. I also identify, develop and shape book ideas for new authors, advise on contents lists and structure and review and edit draft chapters. If you are an author who would like help positioning and honing your lifestyle book idea for an agent or publisher, or you are in the throes of writing your book and would like an expert copy-editor, do get in touch!
