Kind Words
“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. She’s very efficient, got to grips with our quirky online Forum with ease, and provided feedback to all our students on time. 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, Courses Manager, 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
“Working with Hannah on my manuscript was a dream. She understood not only how I write, but also what I wanted to achieve with my writing. Her editorial critique was incredibly nuanced and valuable, and going through her edits has made me explore different possible plots and has made my writing much stronger.”
— Roshni Radia, Freelance Editorial Client
“I wholeheartedly recommend Hannah – she hits that sweet spot of being a total pro who's also enjoyable to work with. Hannah and I worked together to create an Evergreen Instagram grid to act as a static mini website for my business, talking about the work I do training creative people, especially writers, to do their own marketing. Her support was invaluable in keeping the project organised and focused, and she also has enormous creative flair and a real gift for professional and beautifully put-together presentation.”
— Anna Caig, Anna Caig Communications
“Hannah has been simply outstanding! Kind and supportive in her approach, working with her has been a real pleasure. After two years of working on my manuscript alone, Hannah revigorated 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.”
— Lindsay Topham, Freelance Editorial Client
“I am so lucky to have worked with Hannah. Her editorial notes were just what I needed to really get the right feel and message for my story. The line-by-line comments were also extremely useful. I couldn’t be more pleased. I hope to have the opportunity to work her on future projects!”
— Jessica Smith, Freelance Editorial Client
“I could not have asked for a better experience with an editor, especially as a first-time writer! Hannah gave me thoughtful and professional feedback that is helping me move my memoir forward. Her work is thorough, directions clear, and I felt a great sense of respect from her for my story. Highly recommend!”
