I am based in Stockport, Cheshire in the north west of England. Since establishing my freelance business in 2012 I have proofread over one hundred and fifty books (fiction and non fiction) and provided proofreading services for a range of clients. I completed the Basic Proofreading by Distance Learning course (obtaining a pass with merit) in 2011 and have taken further training with Grammar at Work and Advanced Proofreading courses (through The Publishing Training Centre).
Specialisms I have a BA (Hons) degree from Sheffield University in Business Studies. Prior to proofreading, I worked in the financial services sector for 11 years. I specialise in proofreading social sciences, finance, economics, accountancy and business studies. I also proofread fiction, in particular science fiction, however I am happy to proofread any genre.
Experience I have proofread a number of social sciences manuscripts for large publishing clients in areas including accountancy, economics, management, business studies and law. I have experience proofreading education and teaching guides and books. I have also proofread science fiction and general fiction manuscripts for major publishers.
Professionalism I am a professional member of the Society for Editors and Proofreaders (SfEP), and I follow their code of practice, Ensuring editorial excellence.
