Cameron-Rose Neal – Editor

Fiction & non-fiction editor specialising in literary, romance and fantasy that challenges readers and lingers long after.

Overview

~ Thank you for taking a look at my profile! Authors: please kindly note that I am currently fully booked until October 2026 and am booking from then onwards. ~

With 5+ years of experience, my goal as an editor is to help authors write books that linger with readers long after the final page.

Good stories need more than clean prose—they need emotional truth, structural integrity and characters who feel inevitable. I work collaboratively to strengthen your manuscript while keeping your voice front and centre, because the goal isn't to make your book sound like mine; it’s to make it sound like the best version of yours.

I edit across genres but gravitate toward literary fiction, romance and fantasy—particularly work that takes risks, subverts expectations or explores characters that most fiction overlooks. I'm interested in stories that challenge readers and in authors who want to grow their craft, not just polish what's already there.

I’m pleased to offer developmental editing, line/copy editing and proofreading. Whether you need a structural overhaul or sentence-level refinement, I'll meet your manuscript where it is and push it toward what it could be.

If you're looking for an editor who'll be honest, thorough and invested in your work, let's talk. I’d love to work with you.

Work experience

Self-employed

Jan, 2025 — Present
With extensive editorial knowledge, I decided to create my own company, Cameo Editing. As a writer, I understand what it is like to fuel your creative projects with passion and then feel the wary shift when transitioning to the editorial process of a story, and this has provided me with valuable insights that I bring to my editorial approach. I work with writers to evaluate and improve their stories and am incredibly passionate about ensuring this process remains as fun and stress-free as possible. I help not only to refine manuscripts but also to aid the growth of authors' written craft, fuelling their skill set for any future projects they may undertake. Services include developmental editing, line/copy editing and proofreading.

Igloo Books Ltd. (Bonnier Books)

Apr, 2023 — Present
I am responsible for editing and project managing the editorial process for upcoming titles. I work with authors and artists to create visually stunning, engaging and on-trend content in addition to handling the editorial, itself. This involves utilising a strong comprehension of the English language to refine word choice, tone, clarity, message and the overall impact of writing to benefit a chosen market. In this regard, I work to complete edits in both British and American English where required.

QA Ltd.

Feb, 2022 — Mar, 2023 (about 1 year)
Through proofreading and copy editing the content for big-name clients, my role was to perfect the content and ensure the quality of all material was flawless while maintaining order in the publishing process and content. With a key focus on message and clarity, our team of editors ensured that all content met our clients' high standards and, therefore, grew familiar with working with multiple editorial style guides for the benefit of this.

Jan, 2021 — Feb, 2022 (about 1 year)
I was responsible for creating the content for the website, including blogs and creative enhancements, while maintaining various social media platforms. Additionally, I was solely responsible for ensuring the quality of our client's internal documentation and led the editorial process for our client's educational material, which was published privately. This included editorial improvements to the written word to cover clarity, conciseness, tone, flow and more.

Cameron is fantastic! She's punctual, communicative, and provided excellent insight into my manuscript. Each comment was well thought out and descriptive. I thoroughly enjoyed working Cameron, intend to work with her in the future, and would recommend her for developmental as well as line edits.

Cameron is the best editor I could have asked for. I came to her with a story I was incredibly passionate about, though it was rough around the edges. Cameron helped transform that story into a book of far greater quality than I could have ever imagined. Cameron went above and beyond—not only by...
