Nicole Kenton – Editor

I am flexible and able to respond to tight deadlines and even outlandish requests! My skills and experience range from writing and developmental editing, to final copy editing and proofreading, liaising closely with authors and designers. I enjoy working on projects that I can see through from a rough draft to a final well-designed output, both as a team member and independently. Equally, I am happy to take on a variety of tasks at any stage of the publication process.

I mainly provide editing and proofreading services to UN agencies, international NGOs, research institutes, publishing houses, and charities, but have also taken on assignments from individuals, such as PhD candidates and authors.

I have worked on community projects that start well before any knowledge product is envisioned and where I have been able to contribute creatively. I have facilitated writing workshops with researchers who have little experience of writing, and have also worked on community theatre projects with those who prefer a different medium of communication. I was recently in the Horn of Africa, as a trustee of an international charity which works to empower pastoral communities, and gave presentations at a university in Ethiopia and to government ministers in Somaliland. Prior to that I worked as a consultant for the World Bank in Mozambique, helping to formulate a knowledge management strategy for the government's climate change unit.

I am also on the editorial committee of the journal Development in Practice, which involves reviewing articles submitted for publication. I am London-based, and work mainly from home, but am available to travel to get a full overview of any project and meet co-workers.
