Lauren Humphries-Brooks

Nonplussed Editing

I’ve worked as a freelance editor since 2015. I work with large and small publishers, editing services, and private clients. My resume encompasses literary fiction and non-fiction, genre fiction (sci-fi, fantasy, romance, LGBTQ+, and mystery/thrillers), academic publications, and film and television. My clients range from experienced, award-winning authors, to new writers looking for guidance through the editing process, and includes Pulitzer Prize nominees, first-time fantasy authors, family historians, and film critics.

A writer myself, I hold a Master’s in Creative Writing from the University of Edinburgh, a film MA from NYU, and a Bachelor’s in English from the University of St. Andrews. I’ve been published in short story anthologies, media textbooks, and at film and media outlets. I’m passionate about writing and editing – every book is worthwhile, every writer has a story to tell. I want to help authors create something splendid, something of which they can be proud.

I believe that a good editor works for the good of the author.
