Keith Mansfield – Editor

Publisher, Development Editor & Ghost Writer. I've over 25 years' industry experience at the likes of Oxford University Press and Pearson/Addison-Wesley, as well as contributing significantly to setting up the Quercus nonfiction publishing program. I've also written three novels (the Johnny Mackintosh stories) for Quercus, been awarded two international writing fellowships and penned one nonfiction book () for Quercus/Hachette.

I love helping authors achieve their goals and have their voice come through in a book. The author/editor relationship is very important to me and over my career I've been privileged to work with some of the world's greatest minds. On receiving his advances, Nobel Laureate Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar wrote to me, "The book is beautiful beyond compare and with a friendship gained besides". Contemporary thinker (and with our book together, now a New York Times bestselling author) Nick Bostrom has described me as "a hero of publishing".

Please get in touch if you've an interesting concept and want me to help with the book proposal, or work with you on an early draft, or polish the completed manuscript. I enjoy working in very many subject areas, but if you have a book about space/cosmology or the future of humanity, I'll be delighted.
