Professional, efficient and friendly proofreading for authors of non-fiction and fiction

Hello and welcome to my page!

I am an independent proofreader with extensive experience of working with writing, and have provided proofreading and localisation work for the last ten years.

I have worked with self published authors, academics writing university level book manuscripts, students to postgraduate level and authors writing about crime to name a few. My own background includes sciences, heritage and arts, and has involved plenty of academic writing including my own dissertation, and the researching and writing of written reports around qualitative research on arts participant experiences (for a research and evaluation company).

I enjoy it all, and care a great deal about making your work the best it can be.

When you book with me you get:

  • A reliable service that truly values your work
  • Consistent and professional proofreading skills
  • Excellent communication
  • Agreed timing and deadlines
  • An ethical service for students which works with the policies of your educational institution
