Luke Walker – Editor

I am an efficient and friendly editor and proofreader with an eye for detail. I specialize in editing non-fiction literature across the humanities, particularly literary studies, history, and studies of religion and spirituality. I am a Professional Member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP).

As an active academic and graduate of the University of Oxford (BA Hons) and University of Sussex (MA, PhD), I have published widely on countercultural and avant-garde literature of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

As a freelance editor, I have worked on academic books and journals for Cambridge University Press and Manchester University Press, as well as literary non-fiction titles for Fitzcarraldo Editions. I have also edited many books for the mind-body-spirit publisher Aeon Books.

Whether I'm working for publishers or directly with authors, I get immense satisfaction from helping all my clients to write and publish their best work.

I understand that selecting a suitable editor is a big decision. When you reach out to me, I'll always reply quickly, and will happily discuss your requirements via Reedsy messages or a Zoom call. I can also offer a free, no-obligation edit of a short section of your manuscript to help you made up your mind.

I look forward to hearing from you and reading your work!
