Do you need an editor? You’ve landed in the right place.

I’m Brooke

As an editor with nearly 25 years’ experience, I’ve worked on award-winning children’s books, I’ve written and edited loads of kids’ activity books, and I’ve edited and proofread a mountain of adult non-fiction. In online learning, I’ve edited and done QA on online university courses, as well as primary- and secondary-school online assessments. I’ve been around.

But enough about me. What about you? Maybe you’re a publisher, or you might be an emerging writer or editor. Or maybe you just love books.

If any of this sounds like you, hi!
