Northumberland, UK. Working remotely with authors world-wide.
About Me
I am experienced in proofreading and proof-editing non-fiction and academic texts, particularly for authors for whom English is not their first language. I have been a freelance proofreader since 2021 after completing training with the Publishing Training Centre.
I have a background in mental health after working for over ten years for a local mental health drop-In centre and understand the importance of showing empathy and sensitivity.
