Overview
Catherine Gray, author of Sunshine Warm Sober
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, which is yet to be titled. 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!
