About Claire
I’m a non-fiction editor with a passion for food and culture. I offer editorial services to a range of trade publishers in the UK. I specialise in cookery, health and lifestyle, travel, popular reference and gift.
Having worked in-house for a number of years before starting my business, I have a well- rounded knowledge of publishing processes from both sides.
Experience
I have worked on more than 100 books in my career, including project management, copyediting and proofreading. I have copyedited more than 40 books and proofread 30 books, and project managed around 35 books both in-house and out
of house. A few recent books I have worked on include: The Diabetes Weight-loss Plan by Katie Caldesi; Ikoyi by Jeremy Chan; The Ultimate Ultra Running Handbook by Claire Maxted; Slow Seasons by Rosie Steer; 2 Weeks to a Younger You by Gabriela Peacock; Jens Quistgaard: The Sculpting Designer by Stig Guldberg; The Heinz Cookbook; A Regency Guide to Modern Life by Carly Lane; The Pigs in Blankets Cookbook by The Jolly Hog; Ballymaloe Desserts by JR Ryall; and Family Kitchen by Natasha Corrett.
