BookMachine Editorial Board

BookMachine-logo-navMeet the new BookMachine Editorial Board: the next step in our mission to make the BookMachine site a one-stop-shop for you to visit throughout your publishing career.

We want BookMachine to challenge some of your existing ideas, whilst helping to make you a better designer, editor, (insert your job title here). We also want to encourage people in different departments to work together – let’s talk about communication, and about the tools to help us get out of our silos.

Take a peek below at who is on the Editorial Board. Each person will be ‘steering’ and advising on the content in their channel. If you’ve got any burning questions you’d like answered by our experts – feel free to ping them to us here and we will try to get them answered.
