About Melanie

About me

I am a freelance publishing professional providing copyediting, proofreading and copywriting services in academic and public-sector publishing. I have significant experience in editing non-native English.

In 2012, I graduated from the University of Sheffield with a first class Master's degree in biological sciences. I began my career in publishing in January 2013, working for several years for a publishing services company. In 2016 I moved to Spain and began my freelance career. I work exclusively remotely for my client base (who are mostly UK based).

Throughout my publishing career of 10+ years, I have gained editorial experience in a wide range of fields in addition to biological sciences, including medicine, education and humanities.
