Overview
Whether you’re self-producing or working with a publishing house, I can help. I have extensive experience in editing and proofreading, and relish using my meticulous eye to guide texts into shape. My services range from initial editorial assessments to final pre-press checks, and my portfolio spans across all kinds of books. I’ve worked on commercial fiction, children’s/YA, non-fiction for the general reader, specialised academic monographs, illustrated books, and educational material. Alongside many satisfied Reedsy authors, my clients include Allison & Busby, Bloomsbury, Chicken House and Oxford University Press.
I'm a great believer in the power of the written word, and I love to help all kinds of authors achieve their best work. My mission is to make sure every text is published to the highest quality – clearing the way for you to immerse and engage your readers.
