A versatile, knowledgeable and supportive editor of non-fiction, with years of experience at major publishers, including CUP and Hachette.
I provide editorial services to individuals and organisations with a desire to communicate clearly and stylishly in flawless English.
My project editorial responsibilities ranged across a trade non-fiction list featuring gift, humour, health, self-help and travel titles. I reviewed, structurally edited, copy-edited and proofread a large number of projects over the course of seven years at Summersdale Publishers, which became part of Hachette UK in 2017. My additional duties included checking of files before print, oversight of the company's house style guide, and assessing and improving editorial copywriting with regard to back cover copy.
I was chiefly responsible for commissioning, editing and writing back cover copy for titles in the Cambridge Library Collection, which reissued books of enduring scholarly value. I managed a diverse pool of freelance writers, which included academic specialists.
Amberley Publishing focuses on local, specialist, transport and general history. I had wide-ranging editorial responsibility for guiding projects from receipt of materials to print-ready files, specialising in author care, copy-editing and proofreading. My projects ranged from political and military history to full-colour photographic titles.
