Overview
I worked in and around publishing for fifteen years but became a freelance proofreader four years ago. I currently proofread for Granta magazine, Fitzcarraldo Editions and Chicken House, among others. I have also proofread academic dissertations and advertising campaigns.
I worked for The Literary Consultancy, a manuscript assessment agency and have read for international literary scouts. I also have experience in independent publishing at Persephone Books.
I use the BSI proofreading marks but am very happy to mark up the manuscript less formally. I can be flexible with timings and am a very easy person to work with. I pride myself on my attention to detail.
