Overview
Having written Science Fiction and Fantasy for over 40 years, I have edited for Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine for 13 years, freelanced for Dragonwell Publishing and Peggy Bright Books and individual authors.
While SF and Fantasy are my specialties I have also edited general fiction, children's fiction, historical fiction and memoirs.
Thirty years working in a major Australian university library (UNSW) has provided me with the experience to edit academic articles, theses (dissertations) and essays. My specialty subjects include law, business and marketing and zoology. I have a layman's interest in cetacean and equine studies.
I believe the editor's role is to help the author's message shine more clearly and brightly.
