Professional editing
I have undertaken multiple freelance copyediting, proofreading and indexing commissions. I specialise in the arts and humanities, particularly literature, but I have also taken on projects in Law, the social sciences, philosophy, and sociology. Projects range from scholarly monographs, to edited collections, to articles, and PhD theses.
