Victoria Hughes-Williams – Editor

Over the last fifteen years, I've edited and published countless titles for Big Five publishers and Reedsy clients. At Pan Macmillan, I published Sunday Times bestsellers Danielle Steel, Lucy Diamond, Karen Swan, and Andrew Gross. While at HarperCollins, I was privileged to work on bestsellers by Cecelia Ahern, Lindsey Kelk, Harriet Evans, Lauren Weisberger and Philippa Gregory.

Having established excellent publisher relationships, I currently work with HarperCollins, Pan Macmillan, Bonnier, Orion, Corsair, alongside digital pioneers Bookouture, Canelo and Aria. My areas of expertise encompass crime thriller, suspense, historical, fantasy, romance and contemporary fiction.

As a former Senior Commissioning Editor, I am well-versed in creating eye-catching titles to position your book and establishing the all-important hook within your story. Advising on the latest trends in commercial fiction while offering considered critique and bespoke mentoring, I will ensure your story shines.

Reedsy clients have enjoyed tremendous success, Call of the Wrens was acquired in a six-figure deal with HarperCollins, Michael Reit's historical novels publish internationally. Donovan Cook, recently signed a multi-book contract with Boldwood after we collaborated on his first trilogy. India Rigg's Love, Loss and Little White Lies started as a Reedsy collaboration and was later acquired by HodderStudio.

I look forward to hearing more about your book!
