Jenna Whittle – Editor

Hi there!

I'm a freelance editor and proofreader with over 14 years of experience in the publishing industry. A CIEP (Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading) Professional Member, I've worked for both big-name and independent publishers in a variety of roles that featured proofreading, editing, writing and project management. I'm lucky to have worked on titles across a range of genres – lifestyle books, educational titles, science publications and academic works, to name a few – but I have a particular passion for children's publishing, especially picture books, early chapter books and middle grade.

As well as working on books in an editorial capacity, I've authored titles myself. I know how nerve-racking sending your diligently written manuscript to an editor can feel. I offer a sensitive approach that will help you create your best work and engage your reader. I can assist with removing distracting errors and ensuring consistency of style throughout a manuscript.

Check out my gallery and portfolio for a selection of books that I've recently worked on.

Looking for an experienced editor to help your book connect with its intended readership? I'd love to hear from you!
