Editorial experience
I am a trained and highly experienced copy-editor and proofreader who will provide a fresh pair of eyes and catch any spelling, grammar, formatting, and consistency errors that you and your spell-checker may have missed.
I worked as an editor, researcher and editorial manager in the higher education specialist publishing sector for over 10 years before starting my own editorial business in 2016. Throughout my professional career I have worn many hats, including lead proofreader and editor for online content, sub-editor for magazines, substantive editor for novels and short stories, and Department Manager within a leading UK university. I therefore have a wide breadth of proofreading and copy-editing experience across various types of text, including works of fiction in many genres, web content, magazine articles, marketing materials, scholarly monographs, journal articles, and postgraduate essays and theses.
I am well-versed in North American and British writing styles, and can edit texts written for a wide range of purposes and audiences. My background in philosophy and literary theory enables me to spot inconsistent writing and edit texts for a wide variety of reading levels, as well as giving me the expertise to correct typos and formatting errors in a text.
