Who am I?
I'm a London-based editor helping authors get published around the world.
I have seven years of experience as a journalist, editor and author. After embarking on several one-off projects to edit books, I decided to start Starlight.
What are my credentials?
A huge amount of work, time and energy goes into writing a book, so, understandably, choosing an editor is a big decision. You want to know you've made the right choice.
-
Member of the Chartered Institute for Editing and Proofreading. Currently undergoing training for their proofreading certification. Being a member connects me to a wide range of professionals in the editing and publishing world and sees me taking part in regular workshops.
-
Books and newspaper/magazine editor. Both have seen me meticulously editing content before the wider world lays eyes on it, it's just that magazine articles are usually somewhat shorter than novels!
-
Projects in the publishing world. I have done some PR for an indie publishing company and am currently helping on the launch of a new app which aims to connect authors with publishers.

Education. I gained gold standard in my journalism qualification via the National Council for the Training of Journalists and a BA (Hons) in English Literature from the University of Warwick.
