Overview
I'm a full-time copyeditor and proofreader with more than 25 years’ experience under my belt. Between 2014 and 2023, I edited approximately 3,212,000 words for my principal client. Though I specialize in health & wellbeing, I’ve worked on all kinds of subject matter, from arts (philosophy, architecture, education) to medical and techie material. Additionally, I trained in-house for 2 years at a biomedical publisher, where I gained hands-on experience of copyediting medical papers and books. In recent years I've taken on a significantly more business-related jobs (e.g. reports/website copy), so I've developed a strong skill set in that area, too. I have the ability to absorb information quickly, or read around a particular topic, even if it's an area in which I'm not particularly knowledgeable.
You might say I'm a good all-rounder...
Aside from my work, I’m interested in art & design, antiques & collectibles (mid-century, retro, Art Deco), photography, reading, botany, nature & the natural world, spirituality, and music of all genres - from electronic to classical. I also play keyboard and flute: to a 'pretty ok' and amateur standard, respectively!
