Jonathan Campion – Editor

I am a book editor and proofreader based in Norwich, England. I work with 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 – self-help and self-development 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 and Turkish.

As a freelance editor since 2018 I have edited writing by authors from countries including Great Britain, the United States, Canada, France, the Netherlands, Ukraine, Belgium and Sweden.

I am a writer myself. My first book was published in 2024, and was shortlisted at the Charles Tyrwhitt Sports Book Awards in 2025. I have also been a features writer for a variety of travel and culture 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.
