ENDORSEMENTS

​​'Lindsay has been our go-to freelance project editor at Wildfire for over five years now. Her work is of the very highest standard, no matter how complicated or varied the projects, and our authors love her care and passion for their work. 

She’s very much part of the Wildfire success story, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.'

​

Alex Clarke, Publishing Director, Headline/Wildfire

'I’ve worked with Lindsay, as a colleague and in a freelance capacity, for many years now. She is, without doubt, the safest and most reliable pair of hands you could ask for when handling complicated edits (include in that tight deadlines, tricky authors and demanding editors…). 

 

Every author I have introduced Lindsay to has commented on what a pleasure it is to work with her and a senior editor recently marvelled at the exceptional quality of her edit of a very sprawling work into something not only publishable but compelling.

 

I would wholeheartedly recommend Lindsay as an experienced and skilled editor. I’ve not worked with anyone better or more diligent. She’s incredibly nice too, but that’s just an added bonus!'

​

Sara Montgomery, Guardian Books (Director, Monwell Ltd)

‘Lindsay is a superb editor – both able to guide the scope, shape and ambition of a book and to fine-tune the details of the text and punctuation with precision and clarity of purpose. She brings a respect for the writer’s own voice and vision, while making their work all the better for her deep understanding of how books work and why words do and don't deliver on their writer's intentions. 

 

I’d never written a book before. It’s hard to overstate how much Lindsay’s guidance made my book both possible and far better than I could have managed on my own. She’s a pleasure to work with – always open to hearing concerns and new ideas, always matching the author’s commitment to the book with her own – and, when needed, able to tell us that we’re not quite getting it right in a productive and positive way.

 

I trust her judgement implicitly and couldn’t have felt in safer hands. She helped me to write a book that feels true to the original idea and true to me. In truth, though, it was a joint endeavour. A great editor not only brings out the best in the writers they work with but actually makes them better. I felt Lindsay doing this with me throughout our time on my book. I cannot recommend her highly enough.’

Ros Atkins, BBC News Analysis Editor and author of The Art of Explanation

‘I can’t thank you enough, Lindsay, for your kindness, your professionalism and your guidance. You are the most organised person in the world and your sense of what my book set out to be guided me throughout. Thank you, missus.’

​

Carol Vorderman, author of Now What?

​

​

‘I have worked with Lindsay since 2008 and have consistently found her to be an excellent copyeditor and proofreader. She brings years of experience, and balances a critical eye with sensitivity to the author’s voice. She is lovely to work with and reliable too, meeting our deadlines even on the tightest of schedules. I always feel that our books are in safe hands with Lindsay.’

Joanna Taylor, Managing Editorial Director, Penguin Random House

‘Lindsay, I can’t thank you enough for the magnificent editing job you have done on my book. Everything you have done makes perfect sense. Not only that, but you have approached the edits with such care. I really am in awe of your methods. Perfection!’

​

Professor Lloyd Llewelyn-Jones, author of Babylon

​

​

‘I loved the edit; it still sounded like me, but the sort of thing I would write on a really good day.’
