About
After completing my Masters degree in Victorian Studies I decided to embark upon a career in publishing. After working for a small publishing company for several years, working with some incredibly talented authors and gaining invaluable experience regarding the whole book publishing process, I decided the world of proofreading and editing was for me and completed the PTC Basic Proofreading course, CIEP Introduction to Copy-Editing and CIEP Introduction to Fiction Editing. ​I have experience proofreading and copy-editing fictional and non-fictional books, children's books, academic journals and books, environmental reports and documents, websites, magazine publications, essays, dissertations and business documents. ​I also have over five years of in-house indexing training and continue to create comprehensive indexes for clients on a freelance basis. ​ I specialise in copy-editing and proofreading non-fiction articles, journals and books, as well as adult and children fiction, but I am happy to work on a multitude of subject matters.
