Sophie Elletson

Sophie Elletson – Editor

I work on nutrition, personal development, mind, body, spirit - everything health and lifestyle related! I'm also a registered nutritionist.

Overview

I'm a developmental editor, copyeditor and proofreader with over 10 years' experience in non-fiction editing, especially lifestyle, nutrition, personal development and cookery. I also offer internal formatting and typesetting.

My main interests are food, wellness, psychology, relationships, personal development and fitness. I am a nutritional therapist as well as an editor, which means that I have extensive knowledge of many subjects related to health and lifestyle. I have found this to be incredibly useful when editing!

I love working with first-time authors and making sure that your manuscript is the best it can be. I can help you through the publishing process and prepare your manuscript for self-publishing. I can also help you with your book proposal and query letter if you want to go down the traditional publishing route.

I give detailed but sensitive and encouraging edits. I'm incredibly passionate about what I do, and I can't wait to work with you!

I also work with my husband, who is a designer, and we can offer design and editing packages!

As a first-time author, I had no idea what to expect from this process. Also writing a non-fiction book for a niche market had me a little concerned about a good fit. Sophie was great. She polished everything up and made some great suggestions regarding moving some content around for more clarity...
