I started my publishing career in Australia in the 1980s, working for Heinemann and Penguin Books in Melbourne. When I returned to the UK, I worked in-house for Longman Pearson and later for BBC Books. At BBC Books, I worked on TV and radio tie-in titles, including illustrated books on cookery, history and travel.

 

I have been a freelance editor since 1990 and I have worked for many different publishers, including Bloomsbury, Piatkus Books, Hachette, HarperCollins, Oxford University Press and Cambridge University Press. More recently, I have worked on educational books for White-Thomson Publishing Services, medical books for M&K Update and a variety of books for self-publishing authors, specialising in memoirs.

I am also the author of several children’s books and co-author (with Claire Lewis) of 35 Up: The Book of the Granada TV Series.
