About
I am a freelance music and text editor specialising in copy-editing, proofreading and project management.
I am able to work on any subject matter relating to the arts and humanities but have a specialism in music with substantial experience working for music publishers both in-house and in a freelance capacity. I have a particularly strong background in music education, having worked with key clients in this area including the main music examination boards. I have experience of editing and managing both print and digital projects involving musical scores and text.
