Jonathan Oliver – Editor

I'm an editor with over 20 years' experience in publishing, particularly in the genres of science-fiction, fantasy and horror. I was the commissioning editor for Yoon Ha Lee's critically acclaimed and multiple award nominated Machineries of Empire series, Dave Hutchison's Fractured Europe series, and am the award-winning editor of several horror anthologies, including Magic, House of Fear and End of the Road. To date, I've commissioned and edited hundreds of books.

I started in academic publishing at Taylor & Francis. After this, I joined Rebellion Publishing Editor-in-Chief, commissioning and editing books for Solaris and Abaddon Books. I worked on literally hundreds of science fiction, fantasy and horror novels and anthologies, several of which went on to win awards. After a brief stint as a Senior Editor in non-fiction publishing, I have gone full-time freelance and returned to my first publishing love: fiction.

I work closely with the author, seeking to help them to get the best from their story. I know what makes a story tick and have a good sense of the ever-changing world of publishing markets. I seek to make the process as professional, informed, painless and fun as possible.
