Lucy has been the editor on five of my psychological thrillers and one spy novella and I wouldn’t want to be edited by anyone else. In fact, my agent specifically asked for Lucy to work on my books as part of my latest contract, so highly is she regarded in the industry. She is meticulous, thoughtful and incisive, and she’s particularly good at internal logic and the motivations of characters. She even provided me with a fantastic final twist in one of my thrillers. In short, she’s the best in the business.

Thanks to Lucy Ridout for her concise and constructive notes, as well as her understanding of George, all of which go to make the books so much better.
