I am a freelance project manager and editor specialising in food and lifestyle, and also Head of Inspiration at Scribehound Food.
With over 10 years of experience in the publishing industry, my career so far has centred around commissioning and producing high-quality, award-winning, illustrated non-fiction books. From consultancy and proposal development, to taking a concept from idea through to printed book, I have worked with a range of publishers and authors in Europe, America and Australia to produce both high-end and commercial publications.
I predominately focus on project managing: handling the publishing process from start to finish; managing budgets: organising and directing photoshoots; liaising with authors, clients and my roster of freelancers; putting together design briefs; and ensuring books are delivered to the highest editorial and design standards, ready for printing.

"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
