Sophie Elletson

Sophie Elletson – Editor

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

Overview

Editing + cover + formatting/typesetting packages

I'm a developmental editor, copyeditor and proofreader with over 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 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 manage your whole publishing process from manuscript to print-ready files!

As a first-time author, I was honestly very nervous going into this process and didn’t quite know what to expect. I was even nervous to show my manuscript to anyone, let alone a professional editor. From the very beginning, Sophie made me feel comfortable and supported. She approached my work wit...
