Overview
I'm a writer, editor and proofreader who relishes the opportunity to polish a piece of creative work so that it shines. Whether it's fiction or non-fiction, a technical piece of writing, a short story or a novel, I will take care of those all important finishing touches. I have written three non-fiction books myself so understand how vital the role of an editor and proofreader is. Recently I have worked on more technical material for specialised industry magazines but in the past I have proofread academic work and written and edited travel, history and English language teaching materials.
