My portfolio . . . where should I begin?

Over the years, I have vetted literally millions of words of fiction. My non-fiction list also covers a vast diversity of work, from quizzes to cookery books, poetry to protein chemistry, money matters to medical texts − all projects that demand much more than simply polishing prose.

So if your project is similar to one I have tackled in the past, my experience should ensure a speedy and cost-effective solution. If it's something totally new, then I relish the challenge. It's a win-win situation!

I am privileged to work with some of the most progressive companies in the publishing industry:

○ Phoenix Photosetting ○ Hodder & Stoughton ○ Ebury Press ○ Rider

○ C W Daniel ○ Piatkus Books ○ Springer-Verlag

Below is just a flavour of the fascinating jobs that have flowed across my desk in recent times:
