Lucy Badrocke

Lucy Badrocke – Editor

I'm an experienced copy-editor and proofreader, specialising in the arts and culture.

Overview

I have over 20 years experience of working in the arts in a range of different settings including arts organisations, community hubs and sector support networks. Throughout, I've championed writing and publishing as an accessible and critical form of practice, and supported artists and writers to produce books, essays, zines and online editorials. I have an informed understanding of current cultural issues, underpinned by practical experience in realising a range of projects at different scales. I am committed to supporting contemporary discourses around art and culture through collaboration, engagement and support of emerging work.

I can offer considered copy editing to improve clarity, consistency and flow, while remaining true to your voice; and meticulous proofreading. I have experience of working on critical essays, reviews, conversations and transcriptions, fiction, and other creative and experimental forms of writing.
