Overview
Obscure history and nuanced political theory are my bread and butter. My editing always aims to preserve the author's voice, for nobody is better at telling the story than the storyteller – I just make sure that spelling, grammar, punctuation and rhythm are perfect along the way.
I am really easy to work with and will guide you through the whole process, including sharing my experience of other stages of the self-publishing journey.
Current and past clients include Cambridge University Press, Taylor & Francis, Thomson Reuters, Goldsmiths Press, Zed Books and many academic journals and independent publishers.
Get in touch – I'd love to hear about your project!
