Overview
I currently reside in the US but have lived and worked on four continents. In the UK, I was editor of a business magazine covering sub-Saharan Africa, while freelancing for a small academic publisher, Zed Books, and a large media conglomerate, IPC Media; in Australia I worked as a radio journalist for the Australian Broadcasting Corp; I've travelled extensively throughout Africa, where I freelanced for various publications including West Africa magazine. For the past 15 years I've focused solely on freelancing, working for myself and publishing companies, including Henry Holt, Rutgers Univ Press, and Rowman & Littlefield and its subsidiaries.
I'm committed to working with my clients to help them take their work to the next level. I truly love editing and am not happy until my client is.
