Featured
I am a copy-editor and proofreader with 20 years' in-house and freelance experience, mostly in educational publishing. I'm available to take on work for publishers, publishing services, education bodies, government agencies, charities, individuals and the commercial sector. I have a degree in language and linguistics and my strengths are reliability, organisation and attention to detail. I am always determined to deliver high-quality material within budget and on schedule.
My personal interests are English language and literature, history and historic places, geography, maps, music (especially classical), the natural world, art, architecture, and children's books, but I'm happy to consider projects on any topic.
