Rob Colson – Editor

I am a developmental editor and copy editor. My specialist subjects include natural history, the history of science, the history of ideas, astronomy and space science, and STEM subjects for children. I am also an experienced project manager and picture researcher, used to working on tight budgets. I have worked with professional writers, academics, and first-time authors, helping them to distil their ideas and put them across to general audiences, from presenting evolution for children to explaining General Relativity to adults!

I can help authors to illustrate their ideas and make their work lively and engaging, creating a visually stunning book while keeping the costs under control. I can also advise on how to sell work in international markets. Whether you are struggling to structure your ideas or feel you just need to polish your prose, I can provide a level of help tailor-made for your needs. I am particularly keen to hear from experts in their fields seeking to reach wider audiences.
