Overview
I have been working as a copy-editor and proofreader since 2011. Since then, I have worked on a number of books in the areas of history, politics, linguistics, philosophy, and the arts for a number of academic publishers. I have edited and proofread monographs, journal articles and PhD theses, and also short stories. I have particular experience in areas of Irish and European interest, and in language editing, particularly checking translations from German to English, or the work of authors whose mother tongue is German.
