Work experience

Self-employed

Oct, 2011 — Present
As an experienced editor, with a significant portfolio of projects, I can offer insight and guidance to help take your writing project to the next level. I work mainly with fiction, but at various times I have also worked across non-fiction and academic texts. I am a skilled copy editor, proofreader and structural editor. My in-house work has been with a big five publisher and three London-based independents. Many of the writers that I have worked with have a huge readership and are prize-winning and bestselling authors.
