Featured
I am used to working on a very wide variety of non-fiction texts. I have edited and managed projects ranging from children's books to exhibition catalogues and scholarly monographs. I am experienced in dealing sensitively and constructively with authors who may be unused to writing for a particular audience, or for whom English is a second or third language.
