About me
I’ve always been a bookworm and most at home in a library or snuggled up in a book nook. My love of words has been a constant throughout my life, and a degree in English Literature naturally followed.
I also love teaching others and sharing my knowledge, reflected by my 15 years as a teacher and English leader in primary education. I’ve also been a bookseller and an assistant editor for a financial magazine. Are you sensing a theme here? I also love reading historical fiction and listening to history podcasts.
I’m a proofreader of non-fiction and fiction, and I enjoy supporting my clients with a wide variety of projects. I particularly like working on education books and educational materials as I can draw on my previous experience. My specialism is UK primary English (reading, writing and grammar).
I’ve worked on a range of projects for publishing services companies including Westchester Publishing Services (Berrett-Koehler Publishers, Fink Publishing, UCL Press and Paul H. Brookes Publishing), Integra UK (Bloomsbury Academic), Newgen Publishing UK (Hodder Education/Hachette Learning) and Just Content (Collins). Please see my Projects and testimonials page.
Here are some examples of what I could proofread for you:
* educational resources * education books * text books * children's books (non-fiction and fiction) * history * historical fiction * memoirs * biographies * autobiographies * wellbeing * business * cookery books * leaflets * magazines * press releases * newsletters * business reports * blog posts * CVs * cover letters * brochures * theses and dissertations * literature reviews * websites *
