ABOUT ME

I’m a former languages teacher, fearless mountain climber, gimlet-eyed grammar tickler® and gimlet-eyed grammar trainer®.

After 25 years of teaching, I retrained with the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading. Then, I set up a freelance business to help my clients look professional every time they step out on the digital scene whilst being completely happy with what they publish or share.

And now? I have a very particular set of skills.

With my teaching background, I am uniquely placed to prepare and deliver high-quality training and resources for your business.

I’ve been lucky to work with a wide variety of clients, including:

• authors dreaming about seeing their book in print
• entrepreneurs writing to establish expertise in their field
• sole traders who don’t want their web copy to let them down
• multinationals publishing content to a global audience
• university students wishing to secure the best grade for their dissertation
• content creation professionals wanting to underline their professionalism

All pursue the same quest: they want to have confidence in their words so they can appear credible, competent and trustworthy. Which benefits their business. Which allows them to make money.

You can achieve that too.

I work for my clients, but I am, in a sense, an advocate for the readers, an essential part of the story, and they deserve writing that is as clear as day.

That’s why I focus on clarity, communication and consistency, so you can deliver the best reading experience. That way, your audience will likely take the next step with you.

Finally…

You’ll find me in the wilderness, up a mountain or on a rock face when I’m not working. My version of relaxing. And I come back restored, revitalised, raring to go and ready to serve people like you.
