About Fiona
Featured
Experienced copy editor and project manager, freelance since 2004. Specialist areas are Linguistics and Psychology but I have edited everything from East and Inner Asian Buddhism to Geri Halliwell's autobiography! Particular strengths are editing non-native English speaker texts and coming up with creative solutions to client problems or impasses. I have never delivered a job late in 15 years and I am always happy to consider flexible schedules to suit the client.

Fiona is an excellent copy editor. Attentive, conscientious and very professional. Technically brilliant and also a very kind person to partner with. I can highly recommend Fiona for any project that you may have in mind.

Fiona has worked on book projects with and for me for the last 20 years or so, as both a project editor and a copy editor. She has always worked to the highest standard, with full understanding of the publishing process and of the need to establish a good and professional relationship with authors. She is hardworking, punctual, flexible when necessary, well informed, utterly competent and wholly reliable. I have the highest opinion of her work and abilities.
