About me
I'm currently working as an Editor at Headline Publishing Group, Hachette UK. I specifically work on non-fiction books where I have to come up with innovative ideas, and take them to prospective authors, alongside publishing submissions I receive. I am seeking freelance editorial work and I have plenty of experience in copyediting, content creation and proofreading.
