about

Welcome to Hamilton Editorial!

I’m Cait Hamilton, a highly skilled editor, academic development coach, and publishing adviser with over a decade of experience across law, education, publishing, and the not-for-profit sectors. As the Founder of Hamilton Editorial, I’m passionate about empowering academics, professional authors, and thought leaders to excel in their writing, research, and publication journeys.

expertise for academics

With a PhD in Social Sciences from UNSW Sydney and a background in law, I specialise in helping academics at all stages of their careers refine their ideas, develop strong publication strategies, and navigate the scholarly publishing landscape. My tailored coaching and editorial services are designed to enhance the clarity, rigour, and impact of your academic publications, whether you’re working on journal articles, books, or other content. My interdisciplinary expertise across law, international relations, and social sciences lets me guide scholars across various disciplines to create exceptional publications.

At Hamilton Editorial, I offer a unique blend of academic developmental editing and coaching to help scholars achieve long-term professional growth. As a member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP), I’ve collaborated with academics, universities, publishers, and research institutions worldwide, transforming manuscripts into high-quality, impactful publications.

partnering with professional authors

In addition to my work with academics, I also serve as a publishing adviser and writing partner for professional authors, coaches, and business leaders. Whether you’re looking to share your expertise through a book, refine your thought leadership, or develop engaging content for your audience, I’m here to guide you through the entire writing and publishing process. My approach combines strategic coaching with hands-on editorial expertise, ensuring that your message is polished, professional, and ready to make an impact.

I bring the same level of intellectual rigour and attention to detail to my work with professional authors as I do with academics. From conceptualising your ideas to refining your manuscript, I’m dedicated to helping you achieve your publishing goals and establish your authority in your field.

why work with me?

At Hamilton Editorial, I believe that well-crafted writing can transform ideas, careers and industries. Whether you’re an academic aiming to advance knowledge in your field or a professional author looking to inspire and lead through your writing, I’m here to be your trusted partner. My goal is to provide a supportive, personalised experience that makes the writing and publishing process feel manageable and rewarding, no matter your background.

I can’t wait to work together.
