About Vanessa
Featured Text
I am a copyeditor and proofreader specialising in compiling and editing puzzles, puzzle books and quiz questions.
I am the editor for eight puzzle magazines that are on sale in the UK and Australia, and am very comfortable working in both British and Australian English. I also lived in the Middle East for many years, and have extensive knowledge of the specific publishing requirements for that region.
My background is in ELT, and I have copyedited and proofread numerous textbooks and online English teaching and learning materials for all age groups, from primary children to university level and adults.
