Overview
I have a diploma in journalism, and for the last 22 years I have worked at Ski-Boat magazine where I'm the editor. For the past 13 years I have also been working as a freelance book editor — fiction and non-fiction — and thoroughly enjoy it because of the wide variety of work I get to edit.
Past clients include self-publishing companies and indie authors. I have edited biographies, travel books, parenting manuals, spiritual guides, business books, marriage guides and novels, so whatever your genre you can be sure I've covered it.I give my clients as much value as possible by polishing their stories to ensure they're better than the author ever hoped for. The number of repeat clients I have is proof that my clients appreciate the work I do and the good value I provide. I'm not always the fastest editor on the block but I'm definitely the most thorough, and that's the most crucial aspect when you hand over your baby for editing.

Self-employed
I have 22 years' experience as a magazine editor and 13 years experience as a freelance proofreader and editor of English books - both fiction and non-fiction - on a wide variety of topics.
Angler Publications
I have worked at Angler Publications since 1999 as editor of their fishing magazines. Originally the publishers owned Flyfishing and Ski-Boat magazine, but Flyfishing has since been sold. We now only publish Ski-Boat magazine, a bi-monthly magazine focused on deep sea fishing off South Africa. My work entails sourcing stories and photos, liaising with authors and advertisers, editing the articles, laying out articles, overseeing production until print sign-off.
