Overview

I am a versatile and insightful editor, strategist and proof reader for a broad range of non fiction content based on my prior work with leading authors at top publishing houses. My starting point is always to build an understanding of, and rapport with, the author, placing their vision at the heart of the work I do with them to develop an idea into a coherent body of writing.
