About Paul
I am a passionate and meticulous education resource developer and History specialist editor (fiction/non-fiction; trade, academic), with over 20 years’ experience across a range of subjects and audiences. I worked first in-house for UK education publishers and for the last 10 years as a full-time freelance editor, author and consultant. I work on a range of education, academic and trade publishing, including supporting independent self-publishing authors of fiction and non-fiction. I am a CIEP (UK organisation) accredited Advanced Professional editor.
I am also a published writer myself, of poetry and revision guides for school history, so I understand the challenges and frustrations of both sides of the coin. I will work with you to make your manuscript the best it can be to meet your aims as best I can. I am a voracious reader of historical fiction and fantasy.
I have an extensive client list of packagers, publishers and independent authors. See my profile links to CIEP and LinkedIn for details.
I tend to base charges on hourly rates, depending on the scope of the individual project.
