About me

I am a qualified native English proofreader, and copywriter based in Sheffield, England, with clients all over the world. I have over ten years' experience and have helped clients all around the world in commercial, academic and publishing backgrounds.

I began proofreading in 2007, gaining a distinction from the Publishing Training Centre in 2012.

As a published author and experienced marketing manager, I understand how important your project is to you. I'm passionate about helping my clients to reach their full potential by providing a thorough and comprehensive proofreading and editing service, as well as copywriting where needed.

I have worked in marketing and communications roles in commercial and education settings, as well as on a freelance basis, since 2002. I have set up and edited numerous magazines including a quarterly magazine for the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Sheffield, and city magazines in Liverpool and Sheffield. In 2017 I was asked to write and publish a book celebrating 100 years of Mechanical Engineering in Sheffield.

In my free time I am a collage artist, I write and illustrate storybooks for children, and read anything I can get my hands on.
