Services for Publishers, Agents and Managers

I started my publishing life at Pan Macmillan. I then spent eight years at Penguin Random House working first at Michael Joseph and then at Cornerstone, primarily on the Century list. I went freelance in January 2026 and now work with publishers, talent managers and agents on:

• Developmental (structural) editing
• Book doctoring
• Proposal development
• Co-writing
• Project management
• Talent scouting and ideation
• Consultancy
• Bespoke packages

​

I have over fourteen years' experience working with seasoned writers, first-time authors, experts, celebrities and brands, including Ashley James, Mark Ronson, Rob Cowen, Hayley Morris, Monzo, BBC's The Traitors and many, many more.​ My work spans a range of non-fiction genres: memoir, entertainment, narrative non-fiction, self-development, spirituality and lifestyle. I'm used to tight deadlines and managing multiple stakeholders.

If you're interested in working together, please contact me via my webform or email me directly at zennorcompton@gmail.com.

Please note I do not provide copy editing or proof reading services and I'm probably not the best editor for cookery, business, history, politics or economics projects.
