EDITING & PRODUCTION

I worked in the independent publishing sector for over a decade, specialising in print periodicals and nonfiction books.

​I project-managed titles from the pitch or manuscript stage, through editing and design, to the printed product, and coordinated teams of authors, other editors and designers, along with liaising with printers, publicists, distributors and the media.


Having enjoyed my run in periodical and book publishing, I’m now focusing on editorial-adjacent and arts-production roles in festival and community contexts—though the editorial fire can never truly be extinguished, and I still edit on a freelance basis for a few clients.
