Olivia Roberts

Olivia Roberts – Editor

I am a compassionate editor and project manger based in the Bay Area who is eager to bring your story to life!

Overview

I have worked as an editor in the publishing industry for almost a decade. I have worked with celebrity clients and indie authors, specializing in nonfiction pop culture, music, pets, sex & relationships, humor, crafting, and lifestyle. I am also an avid lover of contemporary fiction and romance, and am fired up when I get to work with authors in this space, as well.

I am passionate, dedicated, and flexible. It is my hope that when we work together, we can bring your dream to life in a way that feels authentic, genuine, and exciting.

Some favorite books I have edited:

Taste in Music: In this unique and deeply thoughtful collection, musician Alex Bleeker (Real Estate) and food and travel journalist Luke Pyenson (formerly of Frankie Cosmos) take readers on tour with a diverse lineup of inspiring indie musicians from around the world, sharing meals and travel experiences, peeking behind the curtain at this singular and singularly misunderstood way of life.

Negatives: A gorgeous hardcover time capsule of the emo music scene as it was from 1996 to 2006, featuring never-before-seen photographs and never-before-told stories from key emo musicians, photographers, and icons.

Crafting for Your Cat: One-of-a-kind crafting projects to brighten your home and your cat's life—from chic accessories like matching friendship charm necklaces to unique scratchers and beds that will have your fur baby lounging in style.

Don't hesitate to reach out! Let's making something amazing together.
