Freelance editor and publishing consultant

Hi, I'm Nira. I'm a non-fiction editor with over a decade of in-house publishing experience, including at Penguin Random House and HarperCollins. Now working independently, I offer freelance editorial and consultancy services to aspiring and established authors. (If you're a fiction writer, click here.)

I have edited multiple bestselling books, including Sunday Times and New York Times bestsellers. I have worked closely with many authors and helped refine their ideas, shape their stories, and connect with readers.

I collaborate with writers at every stage of the writing journey, from workshopping and developing ideas, writing and strengthening proposals, to refining drafts and polishing final manuscripts.

If you're ready to bring your book idea to life or need a second pair of eyes over your manuscript, I'd love to help.
