Millie Guille – Editor

I have 10 years of in-house experience in the UK publishing industry, and built a prize-recognised list of literary fiction, narrative non-fiction, and fiction in translation. A recent highlight is the novel Dominion by Addie E. Citchens, shortlisted for the 2026 Women's Prize for Fiction.

I am experienced in developing voices, and shaping projects for both critical recognition and long-term readership. My signature skills are thoughtful yet thorough developmental editing, rigorous copyediting (Oscar Wilde's grandson refers to me as the Guillotine), and high-quality proofreading.

Endorsements from a selection of my authors are below:

"A super-savvy editor, who edited my manuscript with the relentless precision of a poet."

George Makana Clark, author of The Raw Man (Jonathan Cape) and The Wreckers (Europa, forthcoming)

"Gold dust. One of an increasingly rare breed, a true publisher's editor."

Merlin Holland (Oscar Wilde's grandson), author of After Oscar (Europa)

"A fantastic editor."

Saleem Haddad, author of Guapa and Floodlines (Europa)

In addition to in-house editing, I am also a freelance editor for Little, Brown across their fiction and non-fiction titles.

I have an MSt in Creative Writing from the University of Oxford, and a BA in English Literature from the University of Exeter.

I work across literary fiction, upmarket commercial fiction, fiction and non-fiction in translation, narrative non-fiction, short stories, and poetry. My services include reader reports (for when you need a second set of eyes on a manuscript, proposal, or collection), line edits, developmental edits, proofreading, and more.
