I’ve worked in publishing for the last 11 years, most recently as Commissioning Editor at Doubleday, an imprint of Transworld at Penguin Random House, UK. There, I curated and edited a list of critically acclaimed, prize-winning literary fiction from the likes of Jan Carson, Susannah Dickey, Conor O’Callaghan and Caryl Lewis. You can take a look at my full portfolio and some testimonials for more info.

It was a great privilege to see my authors’ work from submission stage right through to publication and beyond, but it’s the editorial process I’ve always relished the most: the wonderfully creative, dynamic and trusting collaboration between writer and editor, with words and story at the heart of everything. From the deep, involved work of helping a novel manoeuvre out of a narrative cul-de-sac and back onto the open road, to applying the final polish to a draft that’s nearly ready to go, I’m available for the full gamut of the editorial lifecycle!

I offer editorial assessments and developmental editing of literary and bookclub fiction, as well as copyediting and proofreading on partial and full-length projects. Click here for more info on what I can offer and how we might work together.
