Overview
I work at a large publishing company, Hodder & Stoughton, part of Hachette UK. I edit both fiction and non-fiction titles, and have training in proofreading, copyediting and copywriting.
I have worked on books by authors such as Paris Fury, Anne Glenconner, Norman Scott, Hugo Vickers and many more.
In my personal time, I love reading fiction, especially fantasy, sci-fi, thriller and romance (basically anything!).
I specialise in proofreading and would love to work with you to help shape your book into the best version.
