Specific projects
Twenty-seven years as an English teacher and teacher librarian. My extensive teaching career means that I am highly adept at proofreading and editing. As a freelance editor, I have edited a number of novels and short stories, including for published authors. I also specialise in manuscript assessment, mentoring and development. I provide major editorial support for authors preparing manuscripts for submission to editors
Manuscript development and outstanding client communication. Constant updates, consultation and support throughout the editing process. Highly motivated, exceptional commitment to each author and ability to meet deadlines. My special interests include reading, travel and French films. I am always passionate about and completely committed to any project that I undertake
