Overview
My particular talent is developmental editing, shaping a narrative that communicates ideas as effectively as possible. The voice will be yours, but I can tighten the style so it's clear and compelling.
I'm the author of three books (most recently The Truth of Yoga and The Roots of Modern Yoga) and I've worked with other writers on memoirs, academic analysis and reportage. All three were combined in McMindfulness, by Ron Purser, which I edited.
I hold an M.A. in Traditions of Yoga and Meditation (from SOAS in London), and have been studying yoga in various forms since the 1990s. I also teach courses on yoga history and philosophy at the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies, and via my website.
