My Portfolio

I gained experience as a fiction editor working for UK-based fiction publishing houses. I have worked extensively on the Titan Books fiction list, which covers TV and film novelisations and tie-ins, fantasy, horror, steampunk and science fiction. I have also edited romance novels for HarperCollins, women’s fiction for Simon & Schuster and fantasy novels from the Warhammer 40,000 series for Black Library (Games Workshop).

Since 2018 I have focused primarily on editing romance, fantasy and young adult fiction for independent authors who are seeking a traditional publishing deal or who want to self-publish their novel.
