Overview
I'm an experienced editor and have worked in publishing for over 20 years. I have considerable experience in copy-editing, writing and proofreading, and have worked for international publishing companies as well as with individuals and corporate clients. As well as editing full-length books, I have experience in writing and editing blog articles, website content, marketing materials, press releases and corporate publications. Now self-employed, in the past I have worked for Penguin Books (UK and India), Hesperus Press, House of Stratus and LexisNexis.
Words are incredibly powerful and I love the challenge of making a piece of writing the best it can possibly be.
