Subject areas

Fiction

I’m most interested in science fiction and fantasy, especially magical systems or creatures (think witches, vampires, zombies, faeries), myths and legends, folklore, and dystopia. I like imaginary worlds with their own rules.

Non-fiction

​I focus on mathematics and other science and technology subjects because I have degrees in mathematics and logic. I worked as a computer programmer before becoming an editor. I’m a Professional Member of BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT. 
 

  Caroline Orr is a thoroughly professional and exacting editor. Having worked with Caroline on my first full novel, I was impressed by her attention to detail and her commitment to maintaining my voice. From researching a sensible local place name to helping the reader follow my delving in and out of the first person, Caroline helped keep the narrative alive and on track. I would heartily recommend Caroline to any author.  

G.R. Jordan, fiction author

 Caroline has been a pleasure to work with. She is flexible, thorough, and has a great eye for detail and consistency. Her technical knowledge meant that she was able to quickly get to grips with our digital product and provide meaningful feedback with both developer and editorial needs in mind.
