Editorial Team Leaders
We use a number of editors, picked for their suitability for their work. Those listed below are a selection of our editorial team leaders.
Keirsten Clark
Keirsten is a fellow of The Royal Society of Arts. She worked for London's leading literary agency, Curtis Brown, for several years where, in addition to her normal role, she oversaw the unsolicited manuscripts for the book department. It was here that Keirsten realised there was so much potentially good work being produced but work which was impossible for agents and particularly publishers to even begin to consider. It is a fact, that a poorly produced manuscript is an immediate deterrent to anyone involved in the selection process. As a result of her conviction that so much potentially great fiction was being rejected out of hand, Keirsten set up the Writing Ltd to offer consultancy services to authors. Keirsten then went on to establish her own publishing house at PaperBooks, dealing entirely in works of contemporary fiction. This was recently sold to Legend Press and the Legend-Paperbooks imprint is one of the liveliest contemporary lists in the UK today.
Rob Tetlow
Rob also started life at Curtis Brown and is our main script-reader for TV, film and theatre. Rob currently works for the British Independent Film Awards and for Cuba Pictures - an independent production and film development company. Rob has himself written, directed and produced short films, of which the most recent was screened at the Portobello Film Festival. Rob worked for Feelgood Fiction as a series script editor and researcher for a BAFTA winning and International Emmy Award nominated series for ITV.
Lorna Read
Lorna has had 30 novels published for both adult and children and has been published by a number of different publishers including HarperCollins, Macmillan, Pan, Virago, Scholastic, Andre Deutsch, Hamlyn. Lorna was the editor for Loving Magazine (IPC) and also writes for a number of magazines and has been a features writer for 25 years for teenage magazines and Men's health magazines. Lorna has also written weekly radio broadcasts throughout her time at IPC and has made appearances as an expert on This Morning, Good Morning, Kilroy, Behind the Headlines, Home Stories and Times of our Lives (Channel 4).
