With over 25 years’ editorial experience, both freelance and in-house, I specialise in international development; globalisation studies; politics, philosophy and economics. I also have a background in practical tropical agriculture.
Bringing these areas together, in 2017 I gained an MA in Communication for Development from the University of Malmö.
I offer a range of publishing services, from basic copy-editing to rewriting and repurposing, always with the reader in mind. Working closely with the text, I also offer intelligent layout and picture research services that can short-circuit the layout process, resulting in documents that work in both visual and content terms. Clients range from publishing houses to international development and scientific research institutions.
