Overview
Whatever you're writing, I'll help you refine it to bring ideas alive.
As a specialist editor and ghostwriter, my talent is for clear communication. So I hear what you're saying, see what gets in the way, and identify potential improvements that work with your voice.
I've worked professionally with words since the 1990s – initially as a foreign correspondent for Reuters and The New York Times, then as a published author, academic researcher and consultant. I've edited everything from memoirs and narrative non-fiction to postgraduate theses.
My personal passion is for yoga and meditation, which I've been practising for more than 20 years. I've written two books about yoga's evolution and edited a third that critiqued modern mindfulness, while exploring how it could influence social change.
