Meet the Editors

What skills do aspiring editing professionals need to work effectively with publishers, both in-house and in a freelance capacity? On 1st April 2020, The Literary Consultancy (TLC) hosted their first live webinar, Meet the Editors, as part of our Editing Training Scheme for aspiring editors, in partnership with the Publishing Training Centre (PTC).
A panel of three publishing industry experts shared their insights and experiences of how essential editing skills can be successfully applied to various roles in publishing.
The panel included Becky Alexander, freelance managing editor and senior editor for Penguin and other companies, specialising in high-profile non-fiction; Louise Harnby, ‘celebrity’ freelance editor of crime fiction and thrillers, working with independent authors, and Shreeta Shah, copy-editor at Puffin Books, Penguin Random House Children’s. The event was chaired by TLC Director Aki Schilz.
