Hi, I’m Rachel! I’ve always been hooked on books, reading, and writing, so it was only natural that I’d end up as an editor.
I spent most of my childhood consuming books and scribbling down stories. I have a BA in English and Creative Writing, and I set up my own business as a book editor in 2017. Since then, my client list has included the likes of Hachette UK, Black Library, Canelo, and Hashtag Press. I also provide editing and literary consulting for Writers & Artists (run by Bloomsbury), and I’m a professional beta and sensitivity reader. I have Amazon and New York Times bestsellers under my belt. To date, I’ve worked on over one hundred books.
Somehow, I still find the time to read for pleasure, and I write my own books, too! For my writing, I’m represented by the lovely Thérèse Coen.
I’m a professional member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading, which means my experience and training has been vetted and approved by people who know their stuff!
I live in North West England with my husband and our two cats.
Interests
When I’m not editing, writing, or reading, you’ll most likely find me going for long walks or hikes with an audiobook, doing yoga, or playing video games. I’m also a big fan of anime – One Piece is my favourite – and Studio Ghibli movies.
