Work experience
Self-employed
I have worked as a freelance editor, literary consultant, writing tutor and coach for over eight years and have thus gained vast experience, working on manuscripts of all genres and with authors from all over the world.
Having worked for a range of leading literary consultancies (including Cornerstones, Writers' Workshop and The Writing Coach), as well editing companies and publishers (such as Scribendi and Sidharta) , I have been able to refine my editing skills and combine them with my own writing experience to help my author clients become the writers they were born to be.
Indeed, several of my clients have gone on to sign publishing deals with major houses and many others have successfully self-published their books.
It's my greatest joy to help support my fellow writers as an editor, literary consultant and writing coach and I look forward to hearing from you.

I specialised in studying and teaching Renaissance literature, but I also taught contemporary literature, critical theory, Medieval literature and nineteenth-century literature to undergraduates and postgraduates. This experience not only has given me a sharp editorial eye and sound understanding of the big picture when assessing manuscripts, but my long teaching experience has also helped me to offer thorough, but thoughtful feedback to my writer clients.
