About

My name is Shuna Meade – I'm named after a small island off the west coast of Scotland.

I'm a Professional member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP), the UK's only editorial society, and I follow their Code of Practice with pride.

​

I'm dedicated to maintaining high standards of editorial excellence and honing my skills.

​

Before becoming 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.

​

These days, I spend my time on a small island in the Caribbean. Dartmouth, Devon is my home in the UK.
