Overview
"Her work is always carefully considered and meticulous. Her work ethic and attention to detail are second to none and it is always a pleasure to collaborate with her." Julia Morris, Director, Critical Publishing
I have worked with many students, academics and professionals to help them improve the quality of their writing and communicate in a clear, effective way. I understand what it takes to create a successful text, from the foundations of coherent structure and organisation to the art of a well-turned phrase. I have expert knowledge of English grammar and punctuation, and have published my own guides on these. I have a true eye for detail, and you can be confident that I will edit and proofread your text to the very highest standard. Furthermore, as an active writer, I understand the writing process and the importance of writing with a target reader in mind. I edit with a writer's eye, and I can help you to communicate your voice and ideas with accuracy, precision and elegance. I can help you make your writing flow.
I believe that the best texts emerge if there is good communication and understanding between the author and the editor, and I will do my utmost to make sure this is the case. I am passionate about creating well-written, readable books which educate and inspire, and I look forward to collaborating with authors who share this vision.
