BOOK EDITING SERVICES
Book Editor UK
Hi, I'm Alex, the owner of bookeditingservices.co.uk and based in the UK. A freelance book editor since 2013, I work with self-publishing authors who sell their books on Amazon and other self-publishing platforms, and writers submitting to literary agents and publishers.
I am fully trained in editing and proofreading to work on a wide variety of writing styles and subject matter through the College of Media and Publishing. I have worked with authors of fiction and non-fiction in many different genres, from chick lit to thriller, memoirs to fantasy, children's books to sci-fi, and poetry to self-help books.
I pride myself on the quality of my work, adapting to each remit and meeting deadlines. Please check out my LinkedIn profile and Google reviews as well as my Testimonials page for feedback received from clients.
