About

I am a Glasgow-based publishing professional with several years experience in publishing, ELT teaching, and marketing. I’m very excited to take the next step into working for myself. I work mostly from my home office, which I share with a small, bad-tempered cat. I would be delighted to work with you on your publishing needs including: copywriting content editing proofreading digital checks editorial project management and more! In my free time, you can find me working on my novel, at the cinema, volunteering as an EFL teacher, or getting involved in some amateur theatre. Get in touch to discuss how I can help with any of your projects.
