Overview
With over 20 years of publishing experience, I bring a sharp editorial eye and deep understanding of story structure to every project. My background spans copyediting and proofreading non-fiction for major publishers including Bloomsbury, developing educational content for cultural institutions including Tate Modern and English Heritage, and writing for specialist reference works.
I hold a PhD in Creative Writing and have taught literature and creative writing at a number of universities, giving me an innate grasp of narrative architecture, pacing, and what makes writing work—whether it's a memoir, nature guide, or novel.
My editorial experience covers diverse subjects: natural history, art history, cultural studies, and visual media. Recent projects include copyediting nature titles for Bloomsbury, an extensive cinema reference guide, and writing entries for a specialist dictionary. I've also created multimedia content and audio guides for galleries and heritage sites on topics ranging from Russian Constructivism to Pop Art.
As a freelance copyeditor and proofreader, I combine meticulous attention to detail with a creative sensibility honed through years of teaching and writing. I work with both fiction and non-fiction authors to refine their manuscripts while preserving their unique voice.
Whether you need structural insight, line-level polish, or comprehensive proofreading, I can help bring clarity, precision, and flair to your project.
