Excellence in all aspects of editorial work – from editing to proofreading for all information sources, be they books or business reports

Overview

I'm an experienced editor, having worked in illustrated book publishing, both in house and freelance, for nearly 30 years. I have edited, commissioned and managed many illustrated, non-fiction books across a range of subject areas, including history, cultural reference, military history, religion, science and nature, sport, travel and more. In addition to traditional book publishing I also work on other forms of information presentation, which includes business intelligence analyses and summary documentation; a wide range of commercial, museum and heritage industry materials; as well as a variety of periodic published reports.
