‘I’d recommend her to anyone – she’s one of the best editors out there.’
“Hannah has worked on several fiction and non-fiction projects for my team at HQ, HarperCollins. This has included complicated structural edits, being a final pair of editorial eyes on a manuscript before we send it to print as well as assessing submissions. She’s thorough, meticulous, and has razor-sharp editorial instincts that she can apply to pretty much any genre! On the occasions where she’s worked directly with our authors, I’ve always received very happy messages from them about her editorial wisdom and collaborative attitude. Indeed, I am very impressed with her attention to detail, creative vision and exemplary author care. Hannah consistently delivers high-quality work, and I know our books are better because of the work she has done on them. I’d recommend her to anyone – she’s one of the best editors out there.”
— Lisa Milton, Managing Director and Publisher, HQ, HarperCollins
“Hannah has provided a range of editorial services to the Fiction editorial team at Simon & Schuster. She is diligent, eagle-eyed, conscientious and delivers excellent work, always hitting our deadlines. Her experience of working in-house within a publishing house is invaluable to me. She is a committed and experienced editor and I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
— Clare Hey, Publishing Director, Fiction, Simon & Schuster
“Hannah is an astute and tactful editor as well as a brilliant motivator. We worked together at Sphere when I was writing my first book Raceless, and I enjoyed the whole process with her, immensely. From the very outset, Hannah was helpful, hands-on and full of ideas on how to improve my work, while always making me feel seen and understood as a first-time author. She’s also great at knowing how to pin down writers when we get tricky and go missing around deadline time and fab at helping us plan ahead and stay organised! I’m sure my book wouldn’t have turned out half as well without her!”
— Georgina Lawton, Journalist and author of Raceless: In Search of Family, Identity and the Truth About Where I Belong
“We’ve worked with Hannah for the past couple of years on providing feedback on synopses for students on our selective Writing Your Memoir course. Hannah is a dream to work with… The feedback she provided was incredible: in-depth, practical and made a huge difference to our students when they came to resubmit their synopses. I’ve lost count of the number of students who have been in touch with me to thank Hannah for her comments on their work!”
— Lyndsey Ng, Curtis Brown Creative
“Thank you for a stunningly good copy-edit. This is honestly one of the best I've received.”
— Feedback from Craig Lye, commissioning editor, Canelo
“Hannah has been simply outstanding! After two years of working on my manuscript alone, Hannah reinvigorated me to produce something I am really proud of. Her editing recommendations have really helped shape my manuscript perfectly. Very professional, excellent at communicating and wonderful to work with, I would highly recommend working with Hannah to anyone.”
