Overview
A highly skilled editor, proofreader and project manager, I have worked in publishing for over twelve years. I began my career as in-house staff before starting my freelance business in 2010. My main expertise lies in educational publishing – particularly in the fields of primary education and ELT for UK and global markets. However, I have experience across a broad range of sectors, including work on fiction, magazines and academic titles.

I developed and edited primary teachers’ resource series, including books, CDs and online material, overseeing projects from concept through to pre-press handover. This involved coordinating authors, CD developers, freelance editors, in-house designers, outsourced design agencies and CD-testing houses. I structurally edited manuscripts, also copy-editing as required.
