Lucy B – Editor

Hi! I’m Lucy, an experienced and passionate commercial fiction editor. With six years experience in the publishing industry, most recently as Commissioning Editor at Pan Macmillan, I specialise in romance, women's fiction and all kinds of contemporary commercial fiction.

Throughout my career I’ve worked with authors who range from established New York & Sunday Times bestsellers to successful breakout debuts, so I have a sharp sense of what publishers want and how to ensure your manuscript stands out to them.

I offer editorial assessment, developmental and line editing, as well as assistance with query packages and book proposals. My editorial approach is encouraging and creative - I’m here to help elevate your words with focused, insightful editorial guidance, and I’ll be sure to tell you everything you’re doing right, as well as everything that needs work!

I’m happy to work with writers at any stage of their publishing journey - whether you're polishing your manuscript for submission, reshaping a work-in-progress, or simply figuring out the heart of your story. If you have any questions, please just get in touch - I can't wait to work with you!
