I am a professional copy editor/proofreader/writer with nearly 30 years experience. I have worked in the publishing industry both in-house and as a freelancer, but this is my first foray into the world of cyberwork. I completed my post-graduate diploma in Editing & Publishing at RMIT (Victoria, Australia) with honours, receiving the Victorian Society of Editors Award for Performance with Distinction. I trained as an editor under senior editor Michelle de Kretser, who has since won the prestigious Miles Franklin literary award - twice. I have an excellent reference from Michelle. I have edited travel books, academic works and fiction, and am the copy editor for Junkies magazine, which focuses on creative recycling. I have also coordinated and written travel books, and have had my writing published in the Australian newspaper and other media. I can invisibly finesse your words and enable you to communicate your thoughts and ideas in the clearest, most effective way. I promise!
