I worked as an in-house editor for an independent UK romance fiction publisher for over a decade, and have been a freelance editor for eight years, working with major publishing houses and individual authors across genres as varied as crime fiction, academic sourcebooks and trade non-fiction. I was also a voluntary editor for a well-known British feminist website for six years. I am an English Literature (BA) and Publishing (MA) graduate. 

​

I have a diverse set of editorial skills, ranging from development editing through to copy editing and proofreading, and am able to turn my hand to most editorial projects — from romantic thrillers to 500-page tomes on medieval history. I have worked on over 100 fiction titles in a range of genres in developmental, line, copy editing and proofreading capacities, and have worked on over 80 academic titles in copy editing and proofreading capacities. A handful of the fiction books I have edited have been nominated for (and won) UK awards. I also have experience of sensitivity reading / editing and have significant experience of working with writers who speak English as another language.
