Overview
I first gained experience working in various roles at Nelson Thornes Educational Publisher, before becoming a freelancer. I provide freelance services to UK publishers including Hodder Education, Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, Pearson, McGraw-Hil and Rhinegold Education.
I have edited content for a wide range of subjects, guiding many authors through the publishing process. Ultimately a good editor adds value to an author's project, and helps to streamline their work to maximise its impact on the target audience: the reader.
I can cater to a variety of editing needs. I look forward to hearing from you.
