Writer and book editor

WORDS THAT CONNECT

My work focuses on finding – or helping other people to find – the most engaging way to communicate ideas or tell a story. With over two decades of professional experience as a writer and book editor, I can offer an expert perspective on what needs to be said, and how best to say it.

As a freelance writer, I produce or consult on content for creative projects in the museum, non-profit and visual arts sectors, including websites, books and exhibitions. I also work with businesses, offering communication audits as well as copywriting on rebrands, pitch decks, websites, management reports and other public-facing materials.

As a freelance book editor, I use candour and a friendly focus on excellence to help both new and established authors realise their creative ambitions. I work on both fiction and non-fiction texts, offering either a manuscript assessment or full development edit (as well as lower-cost ‘toe dip’ versions of the same two services, with work done on a sample of the text rather than the entire thing).

I live and work in Norwich but my clients are also in London, elsewhere in the UK, and sometimes further afield. They range from individuals and small organisations to institutions with a national reputation, including the V&A, White Cube and Nesta.
