About Victoria

Victoria has many years of experience in the publishing world, specialising in children’s fiction books (for all age groups) as well as now editing academic material. Her passion remains helping writers bring their unique voice to a wider readership, whether they are self-publishing or taking a traditional route. Her client list of writers extends across the world.

Whilst her background is in traditional publishing (children’s books), she was quick to embrace the world of self-publishing as ‘levelling the playing field’ and giving new, and established, writers opportunities.

She now lives in a tiny, sixteenth-century workers’ cottage in Warwickshire and writes and edits from home.

Why Victoria loves mentoring

Writing for publication can be exciting and fulfilling. It can, at times, also be confusing and scary. As a mentor, I can help you overcome any particular writing challenges you may be facing.

Mentoring sessions are structured around your individual needs and you can ask all the questions that need answering. You may be wondering how to improve the story structure, characterisations, or even the grammar. You may be asking yourself the big question: Is my book good enough? It is really useful having friendly but honest support? That is where I come in.

After many years in the publishing world, my enduring love is for good writing and great storytelling. Writing is such a creative process and, yet, if you are writing for publication that creativity needs to be balanced with the marketplace. I enjoy exploring that balance with authors, but I also encourage writers to be true to themselves – sometimes what is from the heart is more important than commerciality. That can bring the biggest success.

Why we love Victoria

At Jericho Writers, we’re a team of authors, just like you. Four of us are published by the Big 5, while others are deep in the writing process, honing our craft alongside the writers we support. We work with expert book coaches and carefully chosen mentors, selected for their ability to guide writers through every stage of their journey. It’s this approach that has helped countless authors launch their careers, sign with top literary agents, and even become Sunday Times Bestsellers.

Victoria Lee’s expertise in children’s books will bring invaluable insight to your project. Both having an extensive knowledge of traditional publishing and championing self-publishers, Victoria will help you over every hurdle so that you can write the children’s book of your heart.
