Niamh Mulvey - Editor

I worked for ten years in-house in UK book publishing where I discovered new talent and helped to create bestsellers. I now work as a freelance writer, editor and writing coach. My first book, Hearts and Bones, will be published by Picador in June 2022.

I have published and edited thrillers, romance novels, children's adventure books, literary fiction and short stories. Most of all, I love to help writers of all kinds discover the story they must write and then to help them write it as best they can. I pride myself on my structured approach to pacing and plot development as well as my sensitivity towards the artistic process. I also teach a course in How to Edit Fiction; through this, I try to improve editorial standards across the UK and Irish publishing sector.

If you need someone who understands both how to edit a messy novel and what it's like to be someone who has written an messy novel – then get in touch.
