Overview
As an editor of 20+ years, I’m experienced in editing a wide variety of publications with the majority of titles falling into the category of illustrated non-fiction. My topics range from children’s educational to travel and property investment, to name a few.
With a 15-year history of in-house editing for traditional publishers such as Reader’s Digest and DK/Penguin in London, I am well versed in all stages of book production. My roles have ranged from editor/proofreader to writer and managing editor.
My proudest adult titles include DK Eyewitness Travel Guides, the Reader's Digest Travels & Adventures series and a true-life account of Arctic explorer Alex Hibbett's 2013 Greenland journey.
I have scores of children's books under my belt, from devising activities for Peppa Pig fans to compiling top tips for a fun-filled sleepover, plus numerous publications under licence for Disney and Warner Bros, among others.
In my 10 years of freelancing, I have taken that comprehensive publishing experience and now offer a full-package editorial service, from content planning, proofreading and copyediting to structural editing and rewriting, plus formatting for self-publishing.
In addition to editing completed manuscripts, I can also be helpful in terms of project planning. Have an idea for a non-fiction book but don’t know where to start? I can research and formulate a workable outline plus provide solid fact sources to get you started.
I look forward to discussing your next project!
