Sam Hartburn – Editor

I’ve specialised in mathematical proofreading and editing for over ten years, including textbooks, digital resources, and popular and recreational maths. As well as developmental editing, copy-editing and proofreading, I can write or check answers to exercises and worked solutions and carry out a technical edit to make sure that the maths in your content is correct.

I’ve written several maths books myself, so I know how it feels to have your work edited and published. I know how important it is that the equations are set properly, that the subscripts and superscripts are in the right places, and that the illustrations show exactly what you want them to show. I work closely with authors, publishers, designers and typesetters to ensure that content is accurate, while also meeting design constraints and publisher style requirements.

Previous clients include Imagine Learning, Oxford University Press, Pearson, The Open University, Bloomsbury and Atlantic Books.

*Testimonials*

Sam is a talented, reliable and meticulous editor. She is now a key member of the team that produces booklets and other written resources for our national Maths Inspiration and Maths Fest events for schools. Sam has strong mathematical knowledge which makes her invaluable as a proof-reader, but she also adds value by suggesting ideas for how material can be improved. I am more than happy to endorse her. Rob Eastaway, Director of Maths Inspiration

Thank you so much for the wonderful work you did on ensuring everything was A1 in both the text and solutions. You spotted many errors that I had overlooked and thanks to you we have 2 books which I can safely say have minimal if any errors in them. It was a pleasure to work with you and I must say I was very taken by the detail you put into proofing documents. Padraic O’Luanaigh, Author of Dynamic Maths LC Higher Books
