Nick Editorial

About

I have held a variety of positions at different publishing houses, including working closely with commissioning editors and academic authors for many books and journal articles in the field of engineering; being a development editor for a high-profile list of marketing and business titles; and assisting with asset management for English Language Teaching materials. In 2017, I co-established a small academic publishing start-up with the goal of opening up the English language market to scholars with limited English writing skills. During this time, I substantively edited translated manuscripts to publishable standards, in addition to learning the general nuts and bolts of running a business and a ‘complete picture’ of the publishing process. Our most successful publication was a non-profit book which raised over 10,000 EUR for the Dar Merħba Bik foundation, a Maltese charity devoted to helping victims of domestic abuse. All this experience has informed my current work as a freelance editor. While my specialty has been working with academic books and journals, I have also edited UN reports, research proposals, dissertations, general non-fiction, prose collections, magazine articles, and exhibition materials. Some of my projects and clients, both past and present, are listed on the Portfolio page. A more comprehensive CV can be provided on request. As well as a lifelong passion for the written word, I have a reputation for being somewhat ‘tech savvy’, and having a general interest in resolving computer issues, learning new software, customising processes and coding, has served me well in my career as an editor.
