Neil White – Editor

Sports story? I write for elite athletes and I've been editing award-winning sports books for 15 years. Let's talk about yours.

Overview

Hi, I'm Neil. I'm a founder and editorial director at a publishing and content company specialising in sports. I've spent the past decade working closely with athletes and authors, developing their stories from conception to publication and promotion.

I'll help you find the best version of your story by delivering a detailed assessment of your manuscript, and an engaged, creative edit.

It's your story though - you'll be completely in charge and we'll be in communication at every stage of the process.
