Books.

From pitch to publication, I find the work involved in creating books incredibly rewarding. I enjoyed several years with Footprint Handbooks where I worked on the South American Handbook as well as many other titles. Over the past two decades I have also edited and advised on manuscripts and book proposals for individual clients.

I particularly enjoy working with published and unpublished fiction writers, and provide manuscript assessment and editing services.

I also work as a sensitivity reader, proofreader and copy editor for individual authors as well as major book publishers including Hachette.
