Overview
My speciality is in editorial assessment and developmental editing, particularly within the Sport and Outdoors genre. I have a proven track record in these areas through my company, BackPage Press, which was founded in 2009. To date, we have sold 500,000 books across the world - including Andrea Pirlo's autobiography I Think Therefore I Play, the ground-breaking Pep Confidential by Marti Perarnau, and Graham Hunter's multi-award-winning Barca: The Making of the Greatest Team in the World. On each of these projects, I have been the main editor and worked collaboratively with the authors to shape the content.
Practically, my strengths lie in assessing the strength and marketability of an author's project. Put simply, I know what ideas sell, and how those ideas can be best presented to reach the intended audience. Within my specialist genre of Sport & Outdoors, I have edited books on football/soccer, cycling, tennis, boxing, rugby, American Football, baseball and mountaineering.
