Prior to going freelance, I commissioned and edited non-fiction books at Headline Publishing Group for five years and assisted various team members on their titles. I worked on a wide-range of genres including memoir, biography, history, science, psychology, travel and more. Equally wide-ranging were the authors I worked with: from celebrities to journalists and academics to experts, plus a former PM for good measure. I was also a founding member of Headline Press, an imprint dedicated to publishing serious non-fiction.

Before Headline I undertook various short-term roles in the industry, including a stint at Sceptre where I began my editorial career in 2017. I later completed a master's in Philosophy. Essentially, I spent two years doing philosophical readings of literary texts and literary readings of philosophical texts. My dissertation was about disembodiment in the academy. Proper useful stuff.

I live in London. My life is ruled by my cat Cleopatra and sourdough starter Suzy.
