Copy-editing | Proofreading | Information design

I have extensive experience of copy-editing, proofreading and designing presentations, proposals and other materials for learning and business contexts. I do proofreading for Penguin Random House and have worked on books by authors including Will Gompertz, A. C. Grayling and Ruby Wax.

I had the wonderful opportunity to meet Ali Smith, prize-winning author, while she was Guest Director of the Brighton Festival. Ali mentioned that she was looking for anecdotes about libraries for a book she was writing. I wrote a piece about what libraries mean to me and sent it to her, and she very kindly included a section in her published book Public library and other stories.

“

...a really huge thank you for writing back to me about libraries, this is a big help and beautifully put, especially the way that libraries lead us to what we didn't know we were looking for. It's well said. I'm really grateful.
