Overview
I am a highly experienced editor with over 20 years' experience working across trade, educational and professional sectors and in a wide range of media (from traditional print to ebooks, websites and blended e-learning products). Confident and versatile, I offer project management, list management, content development, content writing, copy-editing and proofreading services. I believe strong editorial values are the backbone of any successful publication. Current clients include Pearson, Hodder & Stoughton, John Murray Learning and Cambridge University Press.

I successfully created and delivered a well-received adult evening course in copy-editing and proofreading for adult learners. This was based on two-hourly sessions over six weeks.
