Qualifications and Experience
A personal, professional and confidential service at reasonable rates
I used to be a lawyer. (I know, so uncreative. No offence to any lawyers out there.) So I know all about keeping things confidential and working in a professional manner. I'm an Intermediate Member of the Society for Editors and Proofreaders and I'm bound by their code of practice. I also adhere to their recommended charging rates. By the way, my qualifications are well respected by the publishing industry and I undertake ongoing training to keep my skills tip-top. I provide a personal service: you'll have a direct relationship with me.
