Overview
I am an Editor at Penguin Random House UK and have worked across a plethora of genres during my career, from crime and thrillers to middle grade fiction and non-fiction. I started off at Hachette UK, working on authors such as Stephen King and John Grisham, then moved to Penguin Random House UK where I edited and published adult fiction before transitioning to children's publishing.
