I am a freelance editor, copy editor and proofreader with over ten years of experience. I work with book publishers, environmental agencies, charities, design and marketing agencies, blue chip corporations and students, as well as directly with authors following the self-publishing route.
Specialist areas include: adult and children’s fiction, art history, earth science, biology, chemistry, physics, religion, social science, design, marketing, advertising, information technology, web content and academic texts. I am also experienced in working with both British English and US English text.
I work to specific house styles or using the Oxford Style Manual, with both on-screen editing and the British Standard proofreading marks. I am also experienced in working with illustrations, liaising with designers and checking colour proofs.
