Simon Monk – Editor

I'm a creative and meticulous editor with more than 15 years' experience in the publishing industry. My track record includes a 2024 Sunday Times best-selling book, along with award-winning titles in sport, true crime and other non-fiction genres.

In my role at publishing company Reach Sport and Mirror Books, I've edited publications on high-profile sports stars such as George Best, Duncan Edwards, Michael Owen and Eric Cantona, as well as 'My Hidden Race' by Anyika Onuora, which was shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book Of The Year 2022 award. More recently I edited Sunday Times best-seller 'Making Life Count'. I also lead the book submissions team, evaluating manuscripts from prospective authors and commissioning future titles.

As a freelance editor, I've worked with an array of first-time and experienced authors to hone their manuscripts. I pride myself on offering all my clients the very best editorial service, helping to create a finished product to be genuinely proud of. I specialise in Copy Editing and Proofreading, while I'll also provide practical tips to help your book stands out from the crowd.
