Kim Scott – Editor

With over fifteen years of experience in illustrated book publishing, I hold a successful track record of project management, copy-editing, proofreading and picture research on numerous high-profile and complex publications.

Given my in-house publishing experience, I am aware of the need for reliable, consistent editorial work. I aim to provide clients with professional, polished texts to deadline and to brief.

I am a meticulous editor with excellent organisational skills and a thorough knowledge of the English language. I relish having a varied portfolio, but particular interests include art, architecture, design, film, photography, history.
