I am an experienced onscreen copyeditor and proofreader. I have the ability to manage all aspects of editorial production. I can liaise directly with authors, project managers, publishers, and designers. I am also skilled at editing work by non-native English speakers.
I have a thorough knowledge of academic publishing and have edited for publishing, non-publishing, and academic works (health, medical, scientific). For 17 years I have had the privilege of working with clients who are at the forefront in their field, who are appointed for their technical expertise, and who are changing global decisions.
For every project undertaken I offer:
- accuracy and detail
- conscientiousness in delivering the work to a professional standard
- consistency in the level of work I provide
- reliability to meet project deadlines.
I am happy to work with any client on any subject and to any style guide.
