Kim Scott - Editor

I worked on a wide range of illustrated publications on art, architecture, design, gardens, poetry, music and film, such as thematic surveys, catalogues raisonnés and monographs. This included:

• copy-editing, proofreading, checking proofs
• generating working schedules
• creating and managing budgets
• commissioning authors and freelancers
• ensuring texts are edited in accordance with the house/project style guides and that they are of a high standard for publication
• preparing related sales materials, writing promotional copy, blurbs and title information, working closely with marketing and online teams to align messaging of publications
• on the majority of titles, I also managed picture research and fee/rights negotiations, ensuring that relevant permissions were cleared and that all materials were of highly publishable quality
