Work experience
Self-employed
I offer freelance copy-editing and proofreading. I have a strong design training so I can handle working with complex integrated books with many figures and also reports that contain graphs and diagrams. I have a great deal of experience of working on academic books in the social sciences and humanities, RIBA architecture books, financial audit reports, biographies, dissertations and journal articles, poetry, and Girl Guide annuals and associated publications. I can work on screen or on paper, using Word or on PDF documents.
