Joanna Booth

Joanna Booth ā€“ Editor

I am a book editor with a background in social research and higher education. I work on fiction, non-fiction and religious texts.

Overview

I have been editing fiction and non-fiction books for seven years, helping authors with copy editing and developmental editing.
My background has included building up a body of knowledge in law, politics, geography, social research, and higher education. I have been a book reviewer and writer so have chosen to put my knowledge together with my practice so I can help out others as well.
One of the biggest elements of writing is its phased structure. I have yet to hear of any writer who sat in front of their work and wrote out a perfect book and then got it on the shelves. There is some thinking, and reflecting, and revisiting to be explored.
You may not think of writing as a practice that needs project management but I have guided quite a few projects over the years and can help you too.
Whether you are writing the next Agatha Christie or have an academic textbook to prepare, I have the experience to help you do it as worry-free as possible.
