Featured text
I have seven years of freelance experience in book publishing. Science is a natural specialism, as I have a diverse background in the field, both in research and as editor/proofreader. But I also love checking all kinds of other writing, having worked on books from self help through to cookery. I gain satisfaction from precise work and always meeting my deadlines, and look forward to working with you!
