I am a professional editor specialising in academic editing, the creative arts and romance.
With a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies (with Distinction), a Graduate Diploma in Linguistics, and a Graduate Certificate in Editing and Publishing, I have over 20 years of industry experience in editing, proofreading and copywriting, and am a professional editor with the Institute of Professional Editors (IPEd).
I read and edit romance novels - there’s more on my romance page.
I specialise in the creative arts, and I have edited numerous doctoral theses, particularly in the humanities. I have extensive experience with academic writing, having worked at the University of Queensland preparing study materials, and editing and proofreading academic papers and articles.
