As a qualified proofreader and copy editor (DipEdit), I offer professional editing services to help authors present their very best work. With experience in governance and philanthropy, I bring a broad perspective, attention to detail, and a deep respect for clear, effective communication.

I’m open to working across all genres and formats, from fiction and memoir to reports and community publications. My passion lies in collaboration—supporting writers to refine their voice, polish their text, and produce a final piece that truly shines.
