More than 30 years’ experience as a lexicographer and editor. I have compiled dictionaries and thesauruses for both adults and children, including the Oxford Primary Dictionary, Oxford Primary Thesaurus and the bestselling Oxford Roald Dahl Dictionary. I have experience of all aspects of dictionary work, print and digital, from project management to proofreading and XML markup. I also write and edit books in the Scots language, and one of my children’s books, Animal ABC, was awarded the TES/Saltire Society Prize for Educational Publications in 2002.
