Overview
I'm a freelance editor, copywriter and ghostwriter based in London. I worked in traditional book publishing for years - at Curtis Brown, Orion and for nearly ten years at Penguin, latterly as an Editorial Director for the Viking list. I've been fortunate enough to work with some incredible authors of fiction and non-fiction, many of whom have written bestselling, prize-winning books. I offer structural editing and general publishing/positioning advice. I can edit your manuscript, or help you hone a concept. I have also ghostwritten a top 10 bestseller for one of the big five publishers. N.B. I am not a copyeditor.
