Overview
Hi! I'm a professional children's book editor and published author with 11 years of experience. I began my career as an in-house children's book writer and editor at an independent publisher before moving to the Puffin Picture Book team at Penguin, the number one children's book publisher in the UK.
I specialise in picture books and board books, and have a particular love of rhyme! I can offer story writing advice, proofreading, copy-editing and general editorial feedback. Having worked at the number one children's book publisher in the UK, I can also offer tips on getting published.
