I work on a wide range of fiction and non-fiction; this reflects my own taste as I read broadly. I offer a number of editorial services to writers and professional clients: see here.

I’ve added more than 300 covers to the dropdown tabs above by genre, which is a selection of published titles from my freelance portfolio; this will give you a flavour of my experience. I’ve also shone a spotlight on some below. These are all books that I worked on in an editorial capacity, e.g. developmental editing, line editing, copy editing, or proofreading.
