I'm a professional book line and copy editor with active publishing credits at Bloomsbury Academic, Trade, Apollo, Michael O'Mara, CUP, HarperCollins, and Peter Lang. Most of my work is with manuscripts that are already well developed but not yet settled on the page – memoirs finding their shape, nonfiction books tightening their argument, academic writing being made readable for a broader audience. I also work regularly on children's picture books and early fiction. I work at sentence level, preserving the author's voice while making the writing do what it's trying to do. Alongside editorial work, I take on occasional writing projects – including educational fiction for young readers and reflective or essayistic nonfiction – where structural thinking and tonal precision are central to the brief. My approach is careful rather than heavy-handed. I’m attentive to rhythm, register, and nuance, and I'm especially experienced with writing that carries personal, political, or cultural weight – memoir, narrative nonfiction, research-informed work – where a heavy editorial hand does more damage than good. Services Editing & Proofreading • Line and copy editing for clarity, coherence, and tone • Stylistic editing with close attention to voice and register • Proofreading of near-final or publication-ready texts • Developmental feedback and structural editing for manuscripts at an earlier stage Writing & Content Development • Educational and learning-focused content • Short fiction for young readers • Reflective nonfiction, essays, and commentary Background • MA in Literary Studies (University of Glasgow) • Professional editorial training with the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP) • Nearly two decades of senior leadership experience, including final editorial responsibility for high-level client and operational documentation I value accuracy, restraint, and good judgement. If you’re looking for an editor who works carefully with language – rather than write over it – I’m happy to discuss whether your project would be a good fit.
