Julie Forester

Welcome!

I studied at university in the UK for four years, graduating with a first-class honours bachelor's degree.

Following the publication of my first book, a series of personal events prompted me to re-evaluate my career and priorities. In 2021, drawing on 28 years of professional experience, I decided to edit freelance.

Alongside this, I began drawing on my formal training in fine art, painting and drawing, as well as my editorial expertise, to create paperback and eBook cover designs.

I haven’t looked back!

I feel lucky to spend my days combining my two favourite creative passions in work I absolutely love.

I’m also fortunate that my reputation has become my best marketing tool, with all my work now coming through word of mouth and recommendations. And over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with many amazing authors.

What are you waiting for? Let's chat! 😉

Here in the UK, the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP) is the gold-standard professional body for editors and proofreaders, and a recommended starting point when searching for a qualified, experienced editor.

My life has been action-packed, filled with thrill-seeking experiences: motorcycle trail riding, stand-up jet skiing, water skiing, RYA Advanced Powerboating, competitive karate and fencing, scuba diving, and learning to fly an aeroplane. I even considered a career as a stunt double.

Today, my wife and I, along with our rescue cat, Poppy, live just north of London, within walking distance of English countryside and lovely canal-side strolls.

Oh, and although I occasionally play the guitar (badly) and sing a bit, I leave that to people with actual talent.
