Before you read on, if in fact you’re after my alter ego, Olivia Hayfield, author of historical retellings (and I wouldn’t blame you if you were, she’s far more glamorous than me), then head over to Oliviahayfield.com . But if you’re after Sue Copsey, book editor and children’s author, then read on!
I have extensive experience as both an in-house and freelance editor. I trained at Dorling Kindersley in London, where I was a project editor then senior editor for four years.
After moving to New Zealand, I became a freelance editor specialising in children’s/YA fiction, genre fiction, non-fiction (adult/children’s), and educational material. I have edited more than 300 UK, US and NZ titles.
