Overview


From the outside, the publishing process can seem impenetrable. Perfecting and producing a high-quality book or text is often a long journey, spanning editing, typesetting, proofreading and printing – until finally we arrive at the finished product. This can be daunting for authors, who after all need to focus on their expertise: the written word.

Whether you’re self-producing or working with a publishing house, I can help. I have extensive experience in editing and proofreading, and relish using my meticulous eye to guide texts into perfect shape. This applies to all kinds of books – I’ve worked on commercial fiction, children’s/YA, academic monographs, illustrated books, and educational material. My clients have included Ebury, Chicken House, Head of Zeus, Constable & Robinson, Gomer Press, Allison & Busby and 3 of Cups Press.


Alongside my freelance experience, I have also worked within publishing houses for a decade now. In my various roles, one thing has always been central – steering authors safely and happily through the editorial process. Over the years I’ve worked with both debut and more established authors, and have always had great feedback. If you need an insight into the publishing process, I’ll be happy to advise.

Sara is extremely professional and does an incredible job editing. She edited my debut YA beautifully and I don’t think anyone else would have done as great of a job as she did!

Sarah is amazing! Very fast, reliable, professional. She returned my documents in record time and caught many inconsistencies and typos in my work. I would highly recommend her.

This has been my first experience using Reedsy and I am very glad I picked Sara. She is friendly, fast to respond and the fee she charged was reasonable. Sara did everything that I asked her to do, communicated effectively, and delivered a clean proof of my manuscript well before the deadline. I would definitely recommend her services and look forward to working with her again in the future.
