Meet Oliver

Fiction editor, writer, and compulsive reader…

I learnt the business of publishing as an editorial assistant at Taylor & Francis. I loved my job, but after working there for a year and doing freelance writing on the side, I began to break into commercial publishing as a freelance editor, helping many authors and organisations refine their ideas, improve their language, and self-publish their work.

In 2020, I wanted to create an official platform for my services, and thus Oliver Whiskard Editorial was born. Since then, I have worked on a number of novels, three of which are published in print and e-book format on Amazon.

Clients love my sharp eye for detail and professional service, and I have developed a reputation for being generous with my advice and willing to go all out to help writers improve for future projects.

I was born in the UK and studied English Literature at University College London, but I’m currently based in Portugal. My clients come from all over the world and desire to tap into many different genres and styles, but they all have one thing in common—they want to make their stories as compelling and readable as possible.

I help them with that mission in the knowledge that every author has their own unique voice and life experiences, and that it’s the editor’s job to reveal the best possible version of their book.

“Ollie has again surpassed himself in providing professional, top-of-the-line work…he always goes above and beyond in providing feedback and advice.”
