About me

I am a professional freelance writer with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature and Human Geography from Monash University (Australia) and a Masters in Philosophy in Environment and Development from the University of Cambridge (United Kingdom). I have 20 years of experience in writing and editing; I am also a published author of fiction and non-fiction books, and am the Editor-in-Chief of a literary magazine.

I have extensive experience in the field of editing and writing, and have worked successfully independently and as part of team for clients ranging from students needing help with dissertations to corporate clients focused on targeted, SEO-oriented copy to large multilateral institutions. I am adept at creating and crafting text for technical audiences or laypersons, in sync with client expectations. Whether it is simple proofreading tasks; multi-author assignments demanding rigorous copyediting; rewriting with due attention to footnotes, references and graphic material; or copywriting projects requiring client meetings, background research and working to multiple deadlines along a publication schedule, you can count on me.

In short, I have a well-developed understanding of how text should be employed to achieve specific purposes, and an instinctive sense of what clients require. You tell me what you want; I will deliver it for you.
