Biographical Note
With a master's degree in publishing, 11 years experience as a writer and editor, and a background in law, I can make even the most difficult content interesting and understandable.
I am passionate about making information accessible, and will work with you to produce the high-quality documents you need. My legal background means I can work comfortably in most subject areas, keeping the meaning intact, while getting your message across.
I have run my successful freelance writing business for the past 9 years, offer writing, rewriting, editing, proofreading and publications management services. Recently, I have won awards for my creative writing. References from clients are available on request.
