Overview
I have over 40 years of experience as a development editor, commissioning editor and publisher - and have worked on books in both the university press and commercial publishing worlds (Open University Press, Wiley, Princeton University Press, McGill-Queen's University Press and London Publishing Partnership). I've worked mostly in the social sciences and humanities - with economics/business, public policy/politics and history being my main stomping grounds.
Having reviewed and edited thousands of book proposals and hundreds of book manuscripts, I now know that the thing I enjoy most (and hopefully am rather good at) is working with authors to develop book proposals, and editing/developing draft scripts – making them ready for submission to a publisher.
