About Terese

I help writers craft compelling non-fiction texts, including books, reports, chapters, blog posts, articles and essays

As a published author and advocate for inclusive and accessible language, I will support you to communicate your ideas and research with clarity and purpose. I work with social justice-oriented writers, academics/scholars/researchers, non-profit organisations and publishers.

My services include copyediting/line editing, proofreading and writing.

Prior to becoming an editor, I was a sociology lecturer in higher education. I also have extensive experience working in the non-profit sector.
