ABOUT ME

ABOUT ME

Hi! I’m Maria Giovanna.

I commission, edit and translate non-fiction, business and academic content.

For a decade, I worked as an in-house editor at Bloomsbury Publishing, commissioning academic books and content for a digital resource. After my second maternity leave, I decided to embrace freelancing and now collaborate directly with authors, publishers, researchers, businesses, and students.

I’m proud to be a Member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP) and the Editorial Freelancers Association (EFA).

With dual British and Italian citizenship, I’ve called London home for the past two decades.

But I guess what you really want to know is:

why should we would together? what is it like to work with me?

To put it briefly, my editing philosophy is to be respectful and kind in all interactions, and for you always have the final word.

What do my authors say about me?
