Experienced copyeditor and proofreader specialising in texts relating to the Middle East and the Arab World. I have a background in political science, specialising in the Middle East, and have studied Arabic.
With ten years' experience as an in-house copyeditor working on books and academic journals, I am adept at applying various house styles as well as working collaboratively with authors to bring out the best in their writing.
As well as Arabic and Middle Eastern subjects, I am interested in working on texts in politics and the humanities more generally.
I have experience working with multi-lingual authors, and am keen to work with clients from the Arabic speaking world.
