Work experience
Self-employed
Freelance copyediting and proofreading for major publishers - HarperCollins, Penguin, Watkins. Most of my work these days comes from Penguin (Vintage, Michael Joseph).
HarperCollins
Relocated to HarperCollins, Hammersmith - one of very few to be taken on from Unwin Hyman. Started out as Desk Editor on Mandala, Thorsons and Aquarian, then moved on to commissioning work after a year, whilst retaining editing aspect of the job. Took voluntary redundancy in June 1994, as I was pregnant with my daughter.
Unwin Hyman
Desk Editor for Mandala Books - an imprint of Unwin Hyman. Entered into discussions re taking on commissioning work, but Unwin Hyman was taken over by HarperCollins.
Hodder & Stoughton
Started with secretarial duties in Modern Languages and English Educational, then became Desk Editor for Modern Languages department after one year.
