About me
I offer editorial services that empower non-profits, charities, businesses and authors to confidently share their expertise and impact. I’m an artsy spreadsheetoholic who enjoys using a structured approach as a basis for nuanced, responsive editing. My bespoke editorial service sees the big-picture issues while pinpointing every detail. With around 15 years’ experience in publishing, I provide a steady hand and broad expertise on editorial projects ranging from articles, reports and books to multi-million-word encyclopedias. I’ve been described as ‘superhuman’ and a ‘secret weapon’, but until Tony Stark comes calling I’m dedicating my superpowers to text-based endeavours.
