Hello, I’m Shannon – a freelance editor, writer, project manager and product developer specialising in illustrated books and gift publishing.  

​

With a background in fine art and film, I bring a thoughtful, creative approach to every project. I’m especially interested in visual storytelling, developing original formats, and creating fun and educational content for both adults and children.

 

Prior to freelancing, I spent five years in-house at Thames & Hudson, where I developed and managed beautifully crafted gifts and games as part of a new range. Many of my puzzles and games can be found in museum and gallery shops – my personal kryptonite.

​

• Creative product development

• Editorial project management

• Development editing (gift and children’s)

• Copy-editing
