I'm a freelance writer and editor with a background in technical and commercial writing, medicine, psychology, homeopathy, geriatrics and terminal care. I also love working with fiction - novels, fantasy, Christian and gay literature. I am passionate about words and ‘getting it right’.
Let me explain! One of the most important things we humans do is communicate. We use words to persuade, describe, reason, argue, criticize and explain – it’s what sets us apart from the animals.
When words are all you have to tell the world who you are, you need to be clear, concise and eloquent. Poor word choices can lead to communication failure, loss of opportunities and misunderstandings.
That’s where I come in. I’m passionate about communication and I can help you use your words as efficiently and effectively as possibly.
I'm a freelance writer and editor who is committed to 'getting it right'. My clients range from a retired kindergarten teacher who self-published a book on parenting, to a London-based financial investment group who needed their annual 350 page business directory edited. I have a background in medicine with experience in nursing, psychology, homeopathy, hospice, geriatrics and managed care. I also love working with fiction - novels, fantasy, creative writing and gay literature.
I’m versatile, approachable, friendly and intelligent, and will always strive for perfection in print. I’ll help you de-clutter your document, tighten your text and clarify your copy.
Let's make your words sing!
