Editor, David Imrie is part of the Page Turner Awards Editorial Team, offering feedback and editing services for writers who want to have their writing critiqued and edited.
David only started editing, quite by accident, five years ago, but has quickly progressed to become a sought after independent editor. He’s British but now lives in the north of Spain with his family, has a degree in psychology from Oxford University and is also qualified as an architectural technologist.
He spent a few years in psychiatry research before switching to IT contracting, working on global integration and error management process for Nokia. Added to a wide variety of other short term jobs (musician, property restoration, nuclear power station, safety case assessment) this is, he claims, the ideal background for a specialist editor of novels!
David’s ethos is that having a manuscript edited should be an energizing, inspiring process. He aims to frame his feedback in a positive light, explaining why problems are problems and providing example solutions that can show a path forward. Although he has a pretty full calendar these days, David normally takes on a few clients from Page Turner Awards each year – please ask if you might be interested in this.
