Jonathan Campion – Editor

I am a book editor and proofreader based in Norwich, England. I often proofread writing by new authors looking either to self-publish, or to pitch a book to publishers for the first time.

The genre I work with most often is positive psychology: books that give guidance on improving mental health and wellbeing. In recent years I have edited titles about improving professional skills, recovering from abuse, overcoming trauma, coping with loss, business and leadership.

My recent projects also include two autobiographies, both of which touched upon European history and politics, and three fiction novels.

I enjoy perfecting texts written by non-native English speakers. Starting my career in 2007 at international companies, for eight years I worked with colleagues whose mother tongues included German, French, Ukrainian, Russian, Turkish and Bulgarian. As a freelance editor since 2018 I have edited writing by authors from Great Britain, the United States, the Netherlands, Romania, Ukraine, Belgium and Sweden.

I am a writer myself. My writing about travel, culture, food & drink and sport has been published in five books, and I have been a features writer for a variety of magazines. Having had my own writing changed by editors for the last 15 years – and having not always taken their feedback gracefully! – I make sure to always make changes respectfully and reasonably.
