Hello, I'm Harriet.
I'm a food and lifestyle creative specialising in developing ideas from initial concept through to finished product.
Over the past decade I've worked across publishing, digital media and creative project management, collaborating with chefs, authors, brands and creators to produce award-winning books, editorial content and commercially successful food projects. My work sits somewhere between editorial, creative development and project management, with a particular focus on premium food, thoughtful storytelling and understanding what excites people about food.
Whether I'm developing a new concept, managing a complex photoshoot, editing a manuscript, working closely with authors and designers or keeping multiple projects and budgets on track, I enjoy bringing talented people together to create work that's both commercially successful and beautifully executed.
I work with publishers, brands and creatives across the UK and internationally, and I'm always interested in conversations about food, lifestyle and culture.

"I cannot imagine being as happy working with an editor other than Harry. Her vision and creative insight nurture the big picture as acutely as the details: her drive and enthusiasm energise people and projects; her sensitive, considered editing makes the written me a better version of myself. My books are as much hers as mine. One thing I particularly value is that while Harry is utterly professional, she is never not completely human; she’s also the best company." – Mark Diacono, Food Writer
"Harry is not only a fab editor with amazing attention to detail but she's always bursting with ideas thanks to her unparalleled vision of the final product, even when it's still just a bunch of text in a document. I've always valued having someone on board who is as passionate about the subject matter as much as I am – it just makes the whole process so much easier and more enjoyable. Quite simply, Harry is the best!" – Becky Excell, Recipe and Content Creator, and 7 x Sunday Times Best-Selling Author
“Whenever I hand over a project to Harriet, I know it is in the safest of hands. From quality of author care and clear communication, to editorial accuracy and constructive, creative advice, she excels in all areas.” – Sarah Lavelle, Managing Director, Quadrille, Penguin Random House
