About

I have a BA (Hons) and MA in English, and over 30 years’ experience of copyediting and proofreading different kinds of publications, including academic books, reference works (e.g. dictionaries and bibliographies), illustrated books, exhibition catalogues, journals, reports and websites. My expertise is largely in the humanities and social sciences – I am what is often called a generalist.

The main services I offer are copyediting, proofreading, web editing and proofing, and transcription services. I can also rewrite, repurpose or restyle any document for print or online circulation.

Having been freelance since 1986, I joined what is now the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP) shortly after its inception in 1989.

Since 2012 I have been an Advanced Professional Member (currently the CIEP’s highest grade of membership).

I am listed in the CIEP Directory and abide by the CIEP Code of Practice.
