Creative: Editing

I like working closely with authors on creative projects (fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry, drama, screenplays), and have done so both formally and informally for ten years. My skills include: preparing a reader's report; copy-editing; and planning press and marketing campaigns for small press books.

If you'd like to discuss a project you're working on, please get in touch for rates and testimonials.

Academic: Research and Editing

I have worked as an editor for academic journals, as well as working closely with authors and publishers on academic books at all stages, from initial research to final proofs. From finding initial sources to checking references, I'm a detail-nerd!
