Louise Tucker – Editor

Searching for an expert editor and an accredited writing coach?

I edit and proofread illustrated books for children and adults, and carefully coach authors through the writing and publishing process.

I approach each editing project as a collaborative, creative process. Authors enjoy working with me because I grasp complex ideas quickly and make sure the reader will too. My empathy and sense of humour help projects to run smoothly, even under deadline pressure.

As an accredited coach and mentor, I help writers on every step of their journey from first draft, through book proposals to publication. I coach for publishers, such as whitefox, universities including the London College of Communications and the Prince's Trust.

My main areas of interest are history, art, travel, architecture and psychology, but I am always ready to try something new. As well as editing illustrated books I have worked on theses, academic articles, novels, memoirs and brochures.

I have edited books for major companies including DK, Lund Humphries, Paul Holberton, Sansom & Co and whitefox. Also, I have set up and run companies and have a comprehensive knowledge of the entire publishing process. Now I share this expertise with authors by combining editing and coaching.
