Overview
I have operated my own freelance editorial and writing service since 2015, after spending the previous 20-plus years working for major commercial publishers (Wiley, McGraw-Hill and Cambridge University Press).
I enjoy working collaboratively with both first-time and more experienced authors to make their manuscripts the best they can possibly be. I am comfortable editing, researching, writing and proofreading in most non-fiction topic areas.

Amazing! Couldn't recommend John more. For a first timer he was extremely patient and professional in guiding me through the process. A big thing for me was he wasn't afraid of offering his personal opinion when asked. No question was too silly for him to be of assistance. Genuinely loved working with him and he gave me the confidence not only to initiate the project but see it to the end!
