Overview
I proofread and edit all sorts of books, from novels to autobiographies to academic textbooks. I have also worked on short stories and poetry.
I consider all genres and topics. I have a particular interest in science editing, especially to do with space and astronomy. In fiction I have previously edited adventure, crime, erotic/romantic fiction, fantasy, horror, literary fiction and sci-fi. In non-fiction I have worked on books about art, business, film, management and politics.
