I am a Professional member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP), the UK's only editorial society and am bound by their Code of Practice. 
I am committed to upholding standards of editorial excellence and to my continuing professional development.

​

Before I trained as a professional editor and proofreader, I spent 20 years working in administration in London, including eight years in the music industry at EMI Music International.

​

I live on a small island in the Caribbean, and when I'm in the UK, my home is in Dartmouth, Devon.

​

As an author: I understand the process and the challenges in writing and being edited
 

As a copy editor: I edit with a light touch, always respecting the author’s voice and intention
 

As a proofreader: well, that's where my meticulous eye for detail comes in!
