Overview
I'm an experienced and versatile editor, having held senior editing roles in major UK publishing houses including Bloomsbury and Oberon Books, working across fiction, non-fiction and academic writing. I also have extensive specialist experience in arts writing and criticism, and have worked on publications and catalogues for major arts institutions like the Solomon R Guggenheim Museum in New York and Whitechapel Gallery in London, as well as writing text for major international touring art exhibitions. I have a close eye for detail, but also really enjoy developing text through structure and style in order to make it as strong as possible.
