Jim Barker – Editor

In the three years I've been a freelance editor, I've worked with clients from diverse areas of publishing, from large international publishing houses to individual self-publishing authors. I've worked on educational products aimed at both foreign and domestic markets, travel guides, in-house publications, and e-reader novels. I hope I can help you with your latest project.

At the AA I did editorial work on all the Lifestyle Guides publications. These include the Hotel Guide, B and B Guide, Restaurant Guide, Days Out Guide, Pub Guide and various guides to the UK. I also worked on the AA's website content. Work on the guides included proofreading, copy writing, copy editing, commissioning features and content providers, as well as working with the AA inspectors and various other third parties. I also did some picture research, quite a lot of InDesign work, and created solutions to generate complete guides from a database.
