About

I offer a high quality editing, proofreading and copywriting service.

A qualified aromatherapist, hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner, I have been published in “Men’s Health” and “In Essence”, the journal of the International Federation of Professional Aromatherapists. I have been commissioned to write specialist articles (for example on essential oil alternatives to antiperspirants) for Holland & Barratt’s "Healthy" magazine, and have recently completed an article on the diagnosis and treatment of prostate and testicular cancer.

I have enjoyed a successful career in local government as a qualified accountant and have written many (and edited far more), policy papers, business and investment proposals and committee reports. I have written and spoken extensively on financial management and been published in “Public Finance” and “Local Government Chronicle.
In 2005, I compiled Diversity in Diction, Equality in Action, the guide to appropriate language in the workplace, published by the Trades Union Congress.

I was commissioned to write "Pioneers" for the anthology, 'Being Bi-racial: where our secret worlds collide" and wrote "Town Hall Clock", published in Team Golfwell's "Wonderful Golfing Stories 2018".

I have written extensively on politics and sport, including football, cricket, horse racing and golf. I have also written copy for Woolovers.com, direct rail.co.uk and a First Aid training company and wrote the course descriptions for over 180 golf courses for GolfingWales.co.uk.

With a background in Classics and a degree in English Literature from the University of London, I have an excellent knowledge of spelling, grammar and punctuation.
