I won the rights to this out of print 1980s New York novel after reaching out directly to renowned author and activist Sarah Schulman.

Having secured the deal to bring People in Trouble back into print, I consulted on the cover, commissioned a new afterword from Sarah Schulman, wrote the blurb and marketing messaging, and pitched the book to colleagues across Vintage.

I spearheaded the reissue of four of Derek Jarman’s non-fiction titles for Vintage Classics, starting with the cult classic Modern Nature.

I commissioned and edited new introductions for each title, working with big hitters including Olivia Laing and Ali Smith.

As well as consulting on the covers I also wrote the blurb and marketing copy for all four titles.

After spending three years in Vintage’s editorial team and three years in Stonewall’s comms team, I’m happy to take on sensitivity reads for books featuring LGBTQ+ themes and/or characters.

Having lived experience of being queer, and undergoing medical transition, I’m able to consult meaningfully on work that engages with LGBTQ+ issues.
