Freelancing

In addition to my publishing day job, I started freelancing in 2020 and it's taken me in a number of fascinating directions within the industry. I regularly work with Damian Barr's Literary Salon managing their podcast content and liaising with publishers for marketing opportunities. Of the books I've worked on thus far, Douglas Stuart's Booker prize-winning Shuggie Bain is a highlight. Occasionally you might also see me on the Lit Salon's social media channels leaving book review or interviewing bookshops owners and authors.

​

I've also had the chance to consult with indie presses on how they can improve sales and marketing so their books penetrate the trade and reach a wider audience of readers.   

​

And through a strange turn of events I've been managing the sale of 3,500+ antique books from the comfort of my flat. The sitting room smells like an old bookshop and I absolutely love it.

 

If freelancing has taught me anything, it's the benefits of staying organised and always having a plan for the week ahead.
