Writer * editor * proof reader

I offer high-quality work based on years of experience. I'm reliable, unflappable and an all-round jolly nice person. But more importantly, I can write what you want, how you want it for when you want it. I won’t be beaten by a deadline and can spot details at a hundred paces. And I thrive on doing large projects that start in a state of confusion and need serious whipping into shape. Originality is a given. And what I write is in grammatically correct English (you can let me know what sort of correct English you prefer – British or American style). It's also entertaining to read and won't send you to sleep. However, if for some odd reason you want text that makes peoples’ eyelids droop, I’ll try my best to help you. The following is only a brief summary of the work I do and have done. If what you need doesn’t quite fit with what I’ve written, feel free to contact me anyway. I may be able to help. Whether it’s a teeny-tiny task you need a quick hand with or you’re looking for someone to commit to a few months working on a book (or anything in between), let’s talk! If it makes you happy, you can simply hand over the details of your task and I'll get on with it. For larger projects, I'll send you a brief weekly update. Or if you're an anxious person who likes to be kept informed of what's going on at every stage, that's fine too. I can be flexible in my approach so you don't have to be. *** Services include: Writing and ghost-writing I can write copy based on your brief, notes or rough draft. My work has ranged from articles through white papers to complete books. A brief glance at my profile and on Amazon will show many of the books that have been published under my own name. I have over twenty years of experience and am a member of the National Union of Journalists. In addition to my work here, I have been published in newspapers and magazines both in the UK and overseas, including having written feature columns in magazines for several years. I've worked for individual clients, government departments (including HMRC), SMEs and large businesses. Editing and proofreading I don’t simply churn out corrections to typos and call that ‘editing’. I seek to help you to enhance your writing on all levels – while retaining your voice – and I am very, very good at what I do. I offer proofreading, copy and content editing, and developmental editing. I'm currently a copy editor for the Sophia Centre Press at the University of Wales, Trinity St David. Although I’ve worked on a wide range of material, my specialties include: Non-fiction: History; biography/autobiography; mind, body, spirit; self-help texts; metaphysical; occult; astrology. I have had three historical biographies published under my own name and have written dozens of articles on occult and spiritualist history. I am a qualified astrologer and was President of the Astrological Lodge of London for twelve years. Not only can I write horoscope columns that will make you wriggle with delight, I have extensive experience in writing about all astrology-related subjects and have lectured on the subject in the UK and overseas, as well as appearing on numerous radio and TV shows as an astrologer. I've also ghostwritten numerous books on these subjects and others. Fiction: Historical; fantasy; young adult; children’s fiction. I have had two novels published under my own name (both historical fantasy) and have ghostwritten many more. I have published several of my own books via Amazon and Lightning Source and can help you if your intention is to self-publish. And I can lay out your text for print and for Kindle. *** I hold a BA in Media Studies (Journalism), a Masters in Cultural Astrology and Astrology, a Diploma in Paleography and a Diploma in Astrology. Currently, I'm pursuing a PhD at the University of Wales, Trinity at David. And if you've read this far, I'm really looking forward to hearing from you. By the way, you're looking lovely today.
