OUR EDITING, DESIGN AND LAYOUT TEAM

We work with three freelance editors who have vast experience in manuscript appraisals, editing, and proofreading. Below are the principals of Gondor Writers' Centre who also work in this area and in design and set-up.

ELAINE OUSTON

With a degree in Graphic Art and a Masters of Letters in Creative Writing, Elaine is able to turn her hand to many tasks. She is a published author of 5 children's books, a writing tutor, editor and designer.

She can take your book from manuscript to a printed book and/or an eBook. Her abilities include editing the manuscript, designing and producing the cover, setting it up ready for print and eBook, and organising the printing and publication.
