About Anne
Anne Sweetmore
With over 25 years’ editorial experience, both freelance and in-house, I specialise in agriculture, I also have experience of international development; globalisation studies; and politics, philosophy and economics.
Bringing these areas together, I have MAs in Communication for Development (University of Malmö, 2017) and Art and Visual Culture (University of Westminster, 2024).
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.
