editorial services

I'm a highly experienced editor and project manager.

I work for publishers and direct with authors.

Editorial project management I can take care of a non-fiction book from delivery of final manuscript/draft flatplan to final proofread, liaising with your editorial team in or out of house as necessary. 

Editing I offer structural editing, flatplanning, commissioning contributors, line editing, copyediting (or page editing in Indesign), proofreading.

Writing I write non-fiction to commission. Past work includes the parenting book How to Raise a Global Citizen (DK, 2021).  

My particular areas of interest lie in pregnancy, parenting, health, wellness and self-help. Authors I've worked with include Professor Lesley Regan, Zita West, Margot Sunderland, Penelope Leach, Annabel Karmel, Emma Cannon, Dr Chandrima Biswas. Past clients include DK, Faber, HarperCollins, Vermilion, Hodder.

'Anna is more than just a great editor – she has a rare ability to see the bigger picture. Her insight and guidance didn’t just improve my writing, they helped me grow as a writer.' Vicky Carpenter (non-fiction)

I line edit, copyedit and proofread fiction, provided that I'm familiar with the genre. I copyedit and proofread poetry. 

'I can't thank you enough for the quality and depth of your corrections and comments in the margin...I had a steep learning curve to climb but your email letter made it really easy for me.' David Healey (poetry)

I proofread and copyedit marketing materials and websites (or 'proof-edit') for publishers and indie authors.

'Thank you so much for all your work. You have made the editing process as painless as possible.' Katie Hall, Marketing and Brand Director, Faber
