About me
LITERATURE. DESIGN. CREATIVITY.
A driven, determined character eager to embrace new challenges.
Together with a degree in English from Loughborough University, I have four years' experience within STM and trade publishing, spanning an array of genres within medical, English heritage, tourism and history. I specialise in the layout, design and editorial processes of books, booklets, leaflets, academic journals, articles, reports and web content. I am confident working with texts written by non-native English speakers.
I am fortunate to have acquired a combination of skills including project management, team management, a sharp eye for detail and creative flare. I am adept with researching 'hot' topics, gaps and trends and commissioning expert authors; sub-editing, writing and re-writing copy to house style; following design briefs accurately and sensitively; adhering to strict, tight deadlines and am confident working with the Adobe Creative Suite, Quark Xpress, CMS and Wordpress.
