Overview
I work as a freelance editor for some of the major publishing houses in the UK.
Up until very recently, I worked as a senior editor at Bloomsbury, and prior to that Penguin Random House, the largest children's publisher in the UK, working across a range of ages from young fiction to crossover non-fiction. I have launched numerous debut authors, and worked very closely with new authors, as well as more established brand authors.
Previous to this, I worked at Harper Collins, at Mills & Boon, and whilst there I edited contemporary and historical series romance.
My taste is broad, but I am particularly interested in editing upmarket women's fiction, romance, literary fiction and YA.
As an author myself (The Mismatch and People Change - both published by Penguin Random House) I am very sensitive to working with new authors and providing them valuable editorial feedback on their projects. I always provide the opportunity for a phone or video call which will accompany my editorial letter because I know how helpful it can be chatting through editorial feedback.
Above all, I am passionate about helping authors develop their voice and stories. So, please do get in touch with your projects!
