Developmental Editor
Hello, my name is Michael Pilgrim. I am a British developmental editor who is comfortable with British or American English (70% of my clients are from the US). I have always been passionate about books, reading and the craft of writing.
After completing a degree in English Language I worked as an editor for a small publishing house in the UK, concentrating on developmental editing. I stayed there for around 4 years. This was followed by 6 years working as an English teacher. I have worked in high schools in the UK and have taught English as a foreign language in Vietnam and India.
I have worked as a freelance editor since 2016. I specialize in developmental editing.
I am less enthralled with historical / literary fiction and poetry.

Michael’s level of professionalism is outstanding. His expertise with editing is off the charts. Michael dug deep into the pages of my book, Order of Succession. He sorted through the good, the bad, and the unnecessary to help me create a masterpiece.
