Tom Williams – Editor

For all your editorial needs, look no further!

I'm Tom Williams, a seasoned comics and fiction editor and professional letterer.

After almost a decade working as a comics and graphic novel editor at one of the UK's leading publishers of sci-fi, fantasy & crime fiction, comics and graphic novels, I decided to take the plunge into freelance editing full-time... and I've never looked back!

My past clients include Image Comics, Titan Publishing, Humanoids Press, and many private and independent clients.

Although specialising in comic book and script editing, I have significant experience with long-form genre projects, both line editing and in a developmental capacity.

My education and employment history have provided me with a varied skill set, a keen editorial eye, and a passion for the written word. I have a BA in print journalism and creative writing and over 18 years of experience working within the publishing industry.
