John Clegg

John Clegg – Editor

I have been editing legal manuscripts for almost a decade now for major publishers such as Taylor & Francis and Oxford University Press.

Overview

I specialise in law publications but have worked in many other subject areas. I have worked with Oxford University Press, Bloomsbury PLC, Taylor & Francis (now part of the Informa group), Edward Elgar, The History Press, The CILEx Law School and various other publishers and individuals.
I am particularly interested in music (text), history, sport, cinema and biography.

My clients have said that they find me easy to work with as I sensitively respect their style and content & always keep in touch with them and meet their deadlines.
