Editing Formatting Excellence

I love to learn new things, to work in a team, and to leave things better than I found them - so I love my editing work because it gives me all these.

My desktop publishing training enables me to format documents before I edit them because I believe that a document's appearance is as important as its contents. A good first impression gets the document read. Good formatting gets it read with pleasure.

I started out editing agricultural reports; my next major work was on financial policies and procedures; then I edited theses and dissertations for three years; and I edited audit reports for 11 years.

My freelancing since March 2019 has brought me fascinating variety: autobiographies, self-improvement books, children's books, community manuals, indexing - and lots of academic work on all sorts of subjects.
