Welcome! I’m Carly – children’s editor and author of nonfiction, preschool, novelty and licensed books.
I work with publishers, packagers and authors to help create and shape books at every stage of the publishing process.

What People Are Saying
“Carly is one heck of an editor and gives much more than a 'thoughtful editorial eye' as I can attest after working with her on Ghostology. She helps bring out the best in the WIP, always with a regard to the target market and the realities of publishing. Her dedication to the highest possible quality and her no-nonsense, personable manner means it has been a real pleasure collaborating with her. I can certainly recommend her.”
— Dug Steer, Ology author
“I’ve been working with Carly for many years now and I always know that her projects will be managed with excellence and creativity. She’s organised, provides clear instructions with strong scheduling skills, and supportive feedback. From an author’s perspective, one of Carly’s greatest strengths is that she challenges and checks, always making sure that my text is as good as it can be and seeks clarification when needed; her edits always work to improve what I’ve produced. Time and again, the books we’ve worked on together have beautifully and professionally put together and I don’t hesitate to recommend her.”
— Camilla de la Bedoyere, author
“I have known and worked with Carly for many years now, and as well as being rather lovely as a person, she has always ensured projects run smoothly and efficiently. She’s a wonderfully talented editor but also has such a great rapport with any collaborators she manages, and it really is a pleasure to work with her.”
