About

Hi, I’m Bryony, a freelance book editor with over twenty years’ publishing experience, and I help authors turn promising manuscripts into compelling, publication-ready books.

My writing career began as the co-author of seven celebrity biographies with Lucy Ellis, published by Random House, Virgin Books, Aurum Press, Ebury Press, Omnibus Press, Music Sales, Hannibal, Birmar, and Heel Verlag. Together, we were called “professional storytellers” by The Guardian, “very professional” by Film Review, “immensely readable” by The Beat Goes On, “detailed” by Sunday Express, and “insightful” by OK! Magazine. As a ghostwriter, I have written for personalities from the professional worlds of music and sport, covering subjects ranging from anorexia to addiction and abuse.

I’m now a developmental editor and copy editor, collaborating on psychological thrillers, crime fiction, science fiction, dystopian fiction, urban fantasy, historical fiction, women’s fiction, and contemporary fiction. Within non-fiction, I specialise in memoirs, lifestyle how-tos, health and well-being, celebrity, and entertainment titles. As a series specialist, I relish keeping a keen eye on continuity, ongoing character and theme development, and plot arc across multiple related books.
