Overview
As both a creative writing graduate and an experienced editor across multiple genres, I know how to help craft a story and provide constructive feedback and when to let a writer's voice speak for itself. As a one-time editor for the world's largest medical research charity (The Wellcome Trust), a tech behemoth (Amazon) and a media information company (Thomson Reuters), I know how to communicate often complex information to a variety of audiences while maintaining a strong, consistent voice. Finally, as a proofreader and copy-editor of academic books for Hurst, Oneworld and Reaktion, I'm adept at fact-checking and formatting reference-heavy texts and helping them reach both specialists and those encountering a subject for the first time.
So whether you've written a research thesis, a detective novel, a space odyssey, a laboriously researched biography or some tricksy combination of all of the above, I'm here to help. I look forward to hearing from you!
