Ingrid Cranfield – Editor

I have no socks left, having worked them off during decades of editing, proofreading and engaging with all things wordy. I was a senior editor on The Dictionary of Art and have been a freelance editor for some major publishers such as Thames & Hudson. I am Principal Editor for Global Century Press, a remote editor for a Canadian company, and have worked with prolific authors such as Stephen Guise and the renowned sociologist Prof. Martin Albrow.

I relish jobs that I can get my teeth into and are maybe a bit difficult, such as books translated into English or long, scholarly works. Almost all my work is done remotely, although I may sometimes get to meet a client. As an author, I understand what it takes to get published and am empathetic to and respectful of authors' work, retaining their voice while making the work accessible to readers. With my love for and superb knowledge of the English language, in all its different variations, I will always do a good job for a client. I am well used to working to deadlines, without losing thoroughness or accuracy. I'm amenable, flexible, friendly, fun to work with and, where necessary, brutally honest.
