About

Yellowback was founded by editor Madeleine Hatfield (@maddyhatfield). Before Yellowback, Madeleine was managing editor of academic publications at the Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers) where she worked in partnership with Wiley.

Madeleine set up Yellowback so she could work with a wide range of authors, publishers and organisations. Madeleine's academic background (she has a PhD from the University of London) means she is adept at dealing with scholarly writing (both journals and books) but she has also worked on trade fiction and non-fiction books.

Madeleine's aim with Yellowback is to facilitate the clear and accessible communication of all kinds of writing, so that authors can really make an impact with their work. She is supported by a small team to offer clients the best possible service.
