As an award-winning fiction book editor, I’ve worked with brilliant authors from a range of backgrounds, from first-time writers to comedians, journalists, to brand authors to name a few. I’ve acquired, edited and been part of the publishing team behind award-winning and chart-topping books including Sunday Times and New York Times by bestselling authors, the Bookseller Fiction Heatseekers and digital bestsellers.

Here are some project highlights where I’ve provided editorial services for authors:

  • Nineteen Steps, the debut novel from global star Millie Bobby Brown, which was an instant Sunday Times bestseller.

  • No. 1 Sunday Times bestseller How to be Famous by Caitlin Moran, which was selected for the Richard & Judy Book Club.

  • Midnight in Everwood and Upon a Frosted Star by M. A. Kuzniar, which were both Sunday Times bestsellers.

  • Dial A For Aunties by Jesse Sutanto, which won the Comedy Women In Print Prize 2021 and has been optioned for film by Netflix.

  • Launching exciting new voices including Stacey Thomas, winner of Harper Fiction’s Killing It Competition and Elissa Soave, winner of the inaugural Primadonna Prize.

  • Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers by Jesse Sutanto was shortlisted for the CWA Gold Dagger Award 2024.

  • Looking Out For Love by Sophia Money-Coutts was shortlisted for the RNA Romantic Comedy Novel of the Year 2024.

  • The Revels by Stacey Thomas was longlisted for the HWA Debut Crown 2024.

  • East of Hounslow by Khurrum Rahman being selected for World Book Night and publishing specially commissioned short story The Motive in support of QuickReads.
