Overview
"I worked with Michaela for four years at Cosmopolitan and I've never encountered a more pleasant to work with, common-sense-led, fastidious and intelligent sub editor. This is why, over a decade on, when we were looking for a new copy editor for a book I'd written, she was the very first person to spring to mind. I'd recommend her in a heartbeat."
Catherine Gray, author of Sunshine Warm Sober and Versions Of A Girl (both edited by myself)
I'm a former chief sub editor/production editor, having headed up the team at Cosmopolitan UK.
Since going freelance, I have worked for all sorts of clients, including Welbeck Publishing and Octopus Publishing.
Two of my more recent jobs have been working with Sunday Times bestselling author Catherine Gray. I previously worked on her final non-fiction book, Sunshine Warm Sober, and more recently have completed her first fiction book, Versions Of A Girl. But I've worked on many other titles, too, from crime, fantasy and comedies, to autobiographies and sex books (yup, including illustrations…).
During my magazine years, I worked on a wide variety of subjects – lifestyle, fashion, beauty, fitness, wellbeing, travel, food/recipes, animals, equestrianism... so I can turn my hand to many subjects, with knowledge.
I'm quick and efficient and I always try to keep things light-hearted (but professional, of course).
Give me a go – you won't be disappointed!
