About me

IMG_5670_edited.jpg

I worked in editorial roles in-house for five years and developed strong project management, copyediting and proofreading skills. I have been a freelance editor since 2014.

 

I have commissioned textbooks and eBooks for International Baccalaureate, International GCSE and International A Level, among others. I also have significant experience of both print and digital projects.

​

My debut novel Mystery in the Palace of Westminster – a middle grade mystery book – has been an Amazon bestseller in its category.

​

In my spare time I like to read and potter about in my balcony garden. I am also a Director for the management company that runs my block of flats. My interests include theatre and ballet.
