Editing

I enjoy working on a wide range of texts, love untangling mangled sentences, and am great at bringing clarity and purpose to confusing or boring copy. I'd be delighted to work with you to make sure your words are doing their job properly.

I'm a Professional Member of the Society for Editors and Proofreaders (SfEP). I've completed the Publishing Training Centre’s copy-editing course and have fifteen years' hands-on experience in the publishing industry. (Click here to read comments from contented clients, and see right for some examples of the books I've worked on.)

I was formerly an in-house copy-editor for Hodder & Stoughton and have edited numerous books for Lion Hudson. Other clients include The Salvation Army, Tearfund, Scripture Union, Quakers in Britain and Preach magazine.

Please contact me to discuss your project. I'd love to hear from you.
