Portfolio

I love to help authors and businesses make sure their writing is fit for purpose.

Due to the confidential nature of editing and writing, many of my projects can’t appear on a portfolio page (let’s admit it, you might not want the world to know that someone else has written or edited your stuff – we all want to look perfect!).

I’ve edited business information and websites, books, ezines, thesis dissertations, poetry, family histories, biographies, autobiographies, and art publications.


Below you’ll find a select list of some of my favourite projects.

  • The Island Kitchen
  • Missing Presumed Drowned
  • A Year in the Wildwood: Explore the Wildwood Tarot

Work with me?

It’s difficult adding things to a portfolio. Some projects can’t be added because they’re confidential and some, well, I just forgot to ask permission because I can be an awkward human asking things for myself.

You’ll find me in these directories:

CIEP (Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading)

PTC (The Publishing Training Centre)

ProCopywriters (the alliance of commercial writers)
