I am an experienced copy editor of non-fiction titles with specialisms in nature writing, memoir and film.
Teaching undergraduate students within the Creative and Professional Writing dept.
I have recently copyedited the nature memoir A Shadow Above for Bloomsbury's Natural History imprint.
I work as a freelance copy editor for the British Film Institute's DVD Publishing dept, copyediting and proofreading newly commissioned film essays as well as contemporary articles and reviews. I recently copyedited a new booklet of 24 essays on Woodfall Films.
I write and commission story-led walking trails and 'viewpoints' across the United Kingdom. These walks are led by the desire to tell a unique story about the landscape.
I particularly enjoy 'cultural geography' in which I investigate how a sense of place is conjured up and written on the landscape. As well as writing my own walks and trails, I commission other writers, broadcasters and thinkers to contribute their own landscape writing and have published with writers including Nicholas Crane, Mark Cocker and Patrick Barkham.
I worked in museum and gallery interpretation, editing, writing and producing a number of apps, multimedia and audio tours to accompany exhibitions at Tate Modern, Tate Britain, the Van Gogh Museum, Historic Scotland and English Heritage.
