I’m a freelance writer, editor and academic tutor based in London and Warwickshire, UK. After completing an MA in Art History, History and Philosophy at the University of St. Andrews, I moved to Bristol, where I finished an M.Phil in Modern History. I worked as a writer and editor for an independent publishing company for many years, before joining Oxford University Press and their digital publishing team – as an Associate Marketing Manager. After making the move to the "big smoke", I worked as the Communications Manager for the Society of Antiquaries of London, before moving to set-up my own writing and tutoring business. Writing and Editing Services I now work as a freelance writer, editor and tutor. I particularly specialise in creating marketing copy (across print, social media and web), blog writing (on just about any topic) and careful proofreading. If you have any projects you would like to discuss, don’t hesitate to get in contact – I’m always on the look-out for new challenges (big or small)!

Hello! I have been working in education for several years, as an Instructor, SME, Instructional Designer, Curriculum Developer and Learning Designer. I have a Masters degree in Educational Technology, and a background in design, project management and web development. My subject matter expertise is in the areas of Communication, Business, Education and Digital Technology, but I also work on courses outside of these - for example, I have developed content for social sciences and health & social care. One of my research & development interests is information visualisation. I run a website that curates infographics, data visualisations and animated explainers for teachers to use in their courses (visualistics.co.uk). I also work on informal education projects, for example, companion websites for museum exhibits, and design websites for arts & culture organizations. For more information, please visit chemistrycommunications.com or my LinkedIn profile. (linkedin.com/in/underwoodl).
