Jeremy Butterfield – Editor

(Please note: I will only reply to requests which give me an idea of your projected budget. That will save us both a lot of time.)

Former Editor-in-Chief at Collins Dictionaries and editor of a renowned guide to correct English, my industry background gives me a special skill set. I have thousands of hours' experience of editing, from art history to histories of cricket to Italian politics and language learning.

I love working with authors so that you 'say' exactly what you mean and connect deeply with your readers.

I’ve edited books on biography, history, business/management, languages, art history and just about any topic under the sun.

My own books are published by Oxford University Press. I edited Fowler's Dictionary of Modern English Usage, widely regarded as a style ‘bible’ for English. My new book will be coming out in the autumn.

If English is not your first language, let me help polish your language by drawing on my academic background and knowledge of several languages.

A recent client said: 'Jeremy brought a much-needed clarity and lightness of was, as usual, incisive, efficient, and a pleasure to work with.'

And I'm a whizz in the kitchen.
