Freelance Copywriting, Copyediting
Editing and Proofreading.
Over the last three years, I have taken on freelance work in multiple capacities. I have been offering first edit and proofreading services for several authors, as well as consulting on contractual matters. At the moment, I am making my way through a book of aphorisms, which has been great fun and has challenged me to think carefully about each and every word that is written - with a one-liner, every single word must pack a punch. This project has led to me slipping back into an agent-like role, forging a relationship with a publisher and negotiating a contract.
I have also worked with companies and brands, for example the animal charity, PDSA, editing and writing press releases and mail outs, and with the design agency, Good Humans, proofing all outgoing work. Over the last few months, I have been working with a London-based start-up, creating content for a range of social media platforms as well as re-packaging old content to be more engaging. I have been writing copy for their website as well as press releases.

2015 - 2018
job
Translation Rights Manager
Tibor Jones & Associates Literary Agency.
I handled foreign rights for all authors, including Wilbur Smith, Hans Ulrich Obrist and Ruth Hogan. My role involved liaising with authors and publishers, travelling abroad for meetings and Book Fairs, handling contract negotiations, drawing up and proofing contracts, and then dealing with royalty statements and all resulting financial matters.
In 2017, I took on the role of Literary Agent. I ran a competition called 'The Page Turner Prize' to discover new talent. Leaf Arbuthnot won the prize and representation, and I signed several of the runners up, working with them on their manuscripts, before submitting to publishers. I am incredibly proud to see some of the authors that I discovered being published.
