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 nearly 10 years' experience in non-fiction editing, especially lifestyle, nutrition, personal development and cookery.


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!
