Luke Robertson – Editor

Editorial experience across multiple children's lists. I currently work at DK and specialise in proofreading and eagle-eyed spots!

Overview

Across my time in the publishing industry I have edited a variety of book titles including picture flats, learning resources, reference books, activity books and much more. I have worked on over 150 book projects of my own and provided proofreading and copy editing on countless more titles. Before starting in publishing, I completed a degree in English Literature and an MA in Shakespeare.

I currently work for DK, where I specialise in editing titles on the Children's 0-9 list. I am available to complete proofreads and consistency checks - always happy to put my eagle eyes to good use!
