“Charlotte is a joy to work with; she's a sensitive, discerning reader who also has a naturally warm, supportive manner, a blessing for any writer in the midst of a project. Her keen eye, commitment to detail and continuous encouragement helped me hugely when finishing my novel The Harpy, for which I will always be grateful.”

Megan Hunter, author of The End We Start From and The Harpy

“Charlotte has a gift for seeing all the way into a novel — to the secret vaults, and into the heart of characters, to what is true and untrue. As a reader she brings taste, perspicacity, and the right amount of sympathy, asking the questions the author forgot to ask themselves. I count on her as one of the core first readers of my novels.”

Paul Lynch, Booker Prize-winning author of Prophet Song, Red Sky in the Morning, The Black Snow, and Grace

“Charlotte ‘Charlie’ Greig was the Editor of my debut novel Nightshift, to be published by Picador. I was guided by her all-round editorial wisdom through several intense redrafts. Her aim is to bring the writer’s work closer to their vision for it. In person, Charlie is incredibly warm and empathetic; on the page, she is rigorous and exacting. As a result I trusted the honesty of her feedback, though her manner was always encouraging. If you have the opportunity for your work to be edited by Charlie, grab it with both hands.”

Kiare Ladner, author of Nightshift

“I have worked with Charlotte Greig over decades, and it has never been anything less than a pleasure. She is meticulous, careful, knowledgeable and experienced. I just wish every publishing company had their own Charlotte.”

Judith Flanders author of A Place for Everything, Christmas, A Circle of Sisters, etc., etc

“Charlotte is without doubt, the most interesting and innovative editor I know, equally at home with heavy structural engineering – like throwing out entire chapters – and the finely nuanced stuff – like shifting a comma to make a joke work better. And when, several years ago, and have tried every picture agency and library in the business, we couldn’t find a cover for one of my books, Charlotte saved the day with a wonderful photos she’d taken one morning on her honeymoon in Kerala – having fixed the text she then provided the cover; how many editors can do that?”

Alex Frater, author of Chasing the Monsoon, Beyond the Blue Horizon, and Tales from The Torrid Zone
