I love words and I have a knack for putting them in the right order.

I’m a freelance writer, copy editor, layout designer and publisher; I love creating publications and documents that look great and read well, too. This is quite unusual – many designers aren’t confident about the minutiae of syntax, grammar and punctuation, while many professional editors don’t know how to create beautiful pages.

I can take care of every stage of your project, right through to production. With a book, for example, this might include: editing your text and/or advising on structural changes; page design and layout; arranging printing and finishing; and publishing. This end-to-end service is ideal for authors who are considering publishing their work privately.

My freelance work has included the following:
Book design, editing and publishing for several local authors
Training manuals for a large corporate client
Copy editing and proofreading across a number of subjects
Journals, magazines and newsletters
News and feature writing
Design of business cards, brochures, leaflets and flyers for local businesses
Press releases for events and business
Publicity work (including poster design) for several community groups
