About Me
Professional Background
During the past 10 years I've worked either in-house or freelance for publishers including Penguin, Egmont, Titan, HarperCollins and Orchard (Hachette). As of January 2012, I am Senior Editor at Carlton Books.
I have also anonymously written or ghost-authored many books, ranging from series fiction for Hothouse to Thomas the Tank Engine novelties and Wallace and Gromit gift books.
Personal
Outside of my work in publishing, I do spend quite a lot of time reading, particularly literary and science fiction/fantasy novels. My central London flat is full of books, though there is a certain amount of space given over to my collection of hippos and a tribe of Cabbage Patch Kids, and sometimes also to my boyfriend, who does the HTML for this site.
I enjoy chocolate, thumping music of the Sisters of Mercy vintage, and Russian culture. I once translated War and Peace for fun.
Academic History
BA English (St. John's, Oxford);
MA Contemporary Cultural Processes (Goldsmiths, London);
MA Russian Studies (UCL, London).
Former member of MENSA.
