About Su
About me
I am an experienced editor offering copyediting and proofreading services. Reliable and customer-focused, I work with publishers and businesses to ensure words and images leap off the page for all the right reasons.
I enjoy working on any project where attractive, effective layout and clear text combine to make the reader's journey smooth and enjoyable.
