Overview

After ten years in the publishing industry I understand what a commissioning editor is looking for and the importance of shaping content for the audience. With a background as a dedicated development editor before becoming a commissioning editor I specialise in nurturing authors, their ideas and their manuscripts to ensure they are polished, fit for market, and will catch the reader's eye.

I have experience in a wide variety of topic areas including psychology and counselling, sociology and social work, nursing, law, architecture and construction, information science, marketing, business, geography, politics and criminology. I have also worked across many book types and audience levels including pedagogically-rich textbooks, specialist monographs and edited collections, professional and trade books, and highly illustrated titles. More importantly I have a proven track record with esteemed publishers from Pearson Education to Palgrave Macmillan as well as smaller, institutional publishers such as the Royal Institute of British Architects.

I can provide tailor-made services from a critique of your book proposal to a 'deep' development edit of your manuscript, tackling structure, style and scope, and including a list of key recommendations. Alternatively you may just need a consultation on how - and who - to approach with your manuscript.
