Sarah Seddon – Editor

Experienced copy-editor, content editor and publisher, responsible for an average of 10 titles each year and a triannual magazine.

Overview

Since commencing my role as Publications Manager at Don Bosco Publications, a small Catholic publishing house in Bolton, UK, I have increased annual releases from an average of four to ten. I focus on identifying, developing, and promoting pertinent content for the ever-changing market. I work closely with authors on every step of the process: ideation, structure, writing, revision and design.

Although my main role is with Christian literature, I have also edited lifestyle blogs, flash fiction and academic papers.
