Overview
I am a copy editor and proofreader with a focus in contemporary fiction geared at a Black audience. I have worked on such titles as A Girl Called H, Those Who Live In Cages and Perfect Imperfections. I also enjoy developing non-fiction manuscripts, as I believe everyone's life story should be treated as precious. I dedicate myself to building relationships with authors and publishers with a view to producing quality books across the board.
