Overview
With only 6 years of industry experience, I am on a road to become Head of editorial by the end of 2024, where Managing Editors with 15+ years of experience seek my team's expertise. My exceptional editorial skills have taken me from being an editor in India to London, making managing directors and managing editors of the best publishing houses in UK realise that the best of skills can come from anywhere and at any age.
My expertise in editorial is highly sought after - I've been offered senior editorial roles at PRH and Harper Collins via LinkedIn by their respective HR teams.
Some high-profile books on my table are Now That I Have Your Attention by Nicholas Hamilton (brother of Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton), Fire Weather by John Vaillant (Winner of the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction) and a new book by James Middleton.
I'm a delight to work with - the last author I worked with thought I was "A Star". While working with me, you will be more than pleased - from making sure your book flows smoothly and accurately to making timely deliveries, I guarantee that your manuscript will turn out to be its best version. Working with 4 different divisions of the largest publishing house, I work on a huge variety of books, from cook books and books on nature to non-fiction and adult fiction. But I personally love working on self-help, business, memoirs, and fiction books.
