Editor. Writer. Project Manager. Proofreader. Copywriter.
Hi, I’m Gemma! I’ve been working as an editor and writer in children’s book publishing for over a decade.
I am passionate about raising awareness surrounding accessibility in books, particularly in children's picture books. Everyone deserves to have access to books, stories and content that is easy for them to read. I am studying and going on courses to research all that I can about accessibility and different SEND. I always have time to talk about making things accessible, please get in touch if you are looking into accessible books; I'd love to help.
I’m an editorial problem solver. Whatever editorial service you need or problem you’ve come across, then I have the experience and know-how you need!
In 1993, Dr Ian Malcolm told us, “Life finds a way.” I have taken this on as a life ethos: whenever I come across a problem or challenge, I adapt and find a solution. It’s always there.
“Gemma finds a way.”
There’s no project too strange or deadline too insane – I’ll take each challenge on with no nonsense, optimism, a sense of fun and attention to detail.
Do you need a full manuscript writing? I have the words you need in the order you’ll want!
Do you need a project managed? I once project managed 40 books across 6 different formats, fully illustrated and written from scratch that went to print in the same month.
Do you need copy written for your business? There’s little more in this life I love than finding the right words, let me find them for you!
Do you need an editor and proofreader? Let me get my red pen and activate my attention to detail! The next stop is linguistic perfection.
Does what you need done have a deadline of yesterday or last week? Let me tell you all about the many times in my career that I’ve sent a book to print within 5 days.
Let’s chat and find a way to work together.
It’s ‘Doesn’t Fit in the Box’ Barbie!
