Lynsey McCulloch

Lynsey McCulloch – Editor

Freelance editor, proof-reader and indexer, with over ten years' experience of working across non-fiction for major publishers.

Overview

I am an experienced editor and author. I have written and edited works of non-fiction for major publishers, with a particular focus on history, art, literature, dance and performance. These works include Reinventing the Renaissance: Shakespeare and his Contemporaries in Adaptation and Performance (2013, Palgrave Macmillan), The Oxford Handbook of Shakespeare and Dance (2019, Oxford University Press) and Dance and the Static Image (forthcoming from Bloomsbury).

With over ten years' experience in academia and publishing, I am currently the editor of two journals: The Journal of the Northern Renaissance, which publishes a range of historical writing, and Reinvention, the University of Warwick's undergraduate and interdisciplinary research journal. As a professor of English Literature and a PhD-qualified researcher, I have reviewed book proposals and journal articles for Oxford University Press, Taylor & Francis and SAGE amongst others.

I am friendly, approachable and sensitive to authors’ needs. I understand how it feels to receive editorial advice and enjoy working collaboratively. I am excited to discover new writing and support writers at every stage of the process. Do get in touch. I'd love to help!
