Overview
Hello! I am a friendly, motivated, and competent copy editor, proofreader, and writer with over 7 years' publishing experience.
After graduating with an English Literature degree in 2015, I started my career at a journal publisher in London before relocating to a publishing house in Bristol, UK.
Having worked in both Editorial and Production, I have strong knowledge and experience of the publishing process from a manuscript’s initial submission, through the revision process, to its publication online, or in print. I have excellent communication skills and am adept at meeting deadlines and managing multiple tasks.
I will use my extensive editing and proofreading knowledge to complete an in-depth edit and proofread of your work. I will provide my feedback clearly and concisely, using either Microsoft Word Track Changes or PDF mark-up to highlight my edits. As I work primarily with non-native English speakers, I am accustomed to completing a detailed manuscript edit while preserving the author’s writing style and tone of voice.
I am enthusiastic to use my skills and expertise to broaden my scope to also work on fiction.
When I’m not editing, I’m usually reading a great deal of contemporary fiction (thank you to my local library for supporting my insatiable habit), gardening, or writing my first fiction novel.

Work experience
IOP Publishing
I manage a large portfolio of STM journals, editing and proofreading manuscripts while adhering to both house style and the Chicago Manual of Style. I work with internal and external customers to publish articles promptly, and to the high standard the journals require. Due to working on both in-house journal titles, as well as some partner titles, I am proficient editing in either UK or US English.
IOP Publishing
I communicated and collaborated with authors to ensure their manuscripts were ready for acceptance by providing concise and helpful feedback on the structure and content of their submissions. I gained extensive knowledge of copyright and permissions.
BioMed Central (part of Springer Nature, Macmillan Group)
As the main journal contact for numerous STM journals, I provided quality customer service to authors while resolving their queries. I gained valuable insight into academic publishing and the publishing process in general.
