Overview
I am a freelance editor, specializing in children's books. I have experience in editing picture books, middle-grade novels, and YA fiction. I have worked with authors from around the world, including self-published authors.
I am an editor for Cornerstones, one of the UK's leading literary consultancies, where I mentor new authors, providing them with guidance on improving their writing techniques.
I also work for several UK publishers, including Oxford University Press, Pushkin Press, and Phaidon Press. I was the editor of 'Tiny Feet, Tiny Shoes' by Adeline Foo, which won the Asian Children's Book Award in May 2017.
I have experience as a writer myself, having worked as a journalist and radio producer with the BBC. I am happy to do more extensive developmental editing and rewrite text if required.
I am an Associate Lecturer at the Oxford International Centre for Publishing Studies, where I teach students studying for the MA Publishing degree.
I am passionate about my work and take great pride in helping authors bring their stories to life!
