Overview
I believe I have a wonderful job – turning original ideas into published books that readers will love and cherish. And with over 20 years' experience editing adult and children's books, I also feel proud of how far some of these titles can reach – whether it's hitting the Oprah's 'Favorite Things' list to helping with bestsellers such as the 'Little People, Big Dreams' series and Caroline Quentin's 'Drawn to the Garden'. I work direct with authors and with well-known publishers such as Kane Miller, Phaidon Kids, Ivy Kids, words & pictures, Wide Eyed Editions, and Frances Lincoln Children's Books.
I aim to bring your best possible work to the table, to fit all your zingy ideas into the bigger picture, drilling right down to grammar and line edits for a good polish. I love being an editor, and I try to extend this joy to the authors I work with. Whether you are experienced or just starting out, fiction or non-fiction, I'm here to make your journey not only easier but more enjoyable and fulfilling.
