The study of history can never reveal all the answers about the past, but it can help us imagine how our ancestors lived many millennia ago. Our generation's most remarkable historical papers and books do precisely this, providing us with fuel for our imagination so that we may put a face to the name of the many civilizations that have since faded into the shadows of history. My unique approach to history is driven by a passion to ignite imagination. Drawing from many sources, I craft narratives that aim to spark a simple yet profound sense of wonder in the reader. I aim to present a factual and entertaining perspective as I piece together the many fragmented parts of our history. My background in archaeology provides me with the necessary skills to research using primary and secondary sources. All of my articles and scripts begin with a period of in-depth research before being assembled into a format easily digestible for the reader/viewer. I have studied Western Europe's present and ancient history, including the Stone Age, Celtic, and Germanic cultures of Northern Ireland (Ulster), Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England, France, and Scandinavia. I'm also well-versed in the broader history of Indo-Europeans and that of Mesopotamia, including anceint Iran and Iraq, and all the peoples that rose from this cradle of civilization. I have spent considerable time studying the history of these places, the groups that once inhabited them, their everyday lives, writing systems, and religious customs. I deeply respect the ancient cultures that paved the way for us, and I believe that history should be explained in a way that honors their contributions. If done correctly, this can yield fascinating insight into the ancient world while being true to the historical record. Other Areas of Expertise: World history (Ancient) - Phoenician, Egyptian, Native American, Indus/Harappan & Mesoamerican, (including the Olmec, Maya, Tolteca, and Azteca cultures, plus many more.) Philosophy - Mahayana Buddhism, Kabbalism, Hermeticism, Upanishads/Vedic, Greek, Gnosticism, among others.

I’m an experienced editor and Oxford-educated PhD holder, ready to help with all your editing and proofreading needs. Using my years of experience in the field, along with the knowledge gleaned from my career as a university lecturer, writer of both academic and mainstream articles, peer-reviewer and award-winning student, I will meticulously edit and correct your writing, keeping your target audience firmly in mind. Nothing undermines your hard work like sloppy writing, typos and poor spelling and grammar. Hire me, and together we’ll make your written work the best it can be. Over the years, I have edited and proofread books, articles, doctoral theses, blogs and business content. Recent projects have included a translated biography of a well-known Danish artist, doctoral theses on architecture and anthropology, entire journal issues, and an edited book of academic essays on a seventeenth-century Jesuit intellectual. I pride myself on satisfying my clients, and a measure of my success and proficiency is the fact that most of my work comes from long-term clients. I am also a member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading, and abide by their strict professional guidelines. I have a very strong eye for detail, and am happy to work on projects from any discipline. In my other career as a professional historian (my first book on Anglo-Saxon history and culture was published in September 2021), I have garnered a wealth of experience from writing for clients including Routledge, Reaktion, academic journals, the heritage sector and mainstream magazines. As such, I am a flexible editor, comfortable working on publications intended for diverse audiences. Student struggling to meet those spelling and grammar targets, get your head round a referencing system or construct a cohesive argument? I was that scary lecturer no student could impress, and now I’m on your side. Academic after another pair of keen eyes to make sure you've nailed the house style or perfected your argument for a paper? I've been there, too, so let’s make sure it appears in the high-impact journal it deserves. Business owner hoping to attract new customers with a marketing campaign? I will inspire trust in potential clients by giving your communications razor-sharp clarity and perfect grammar, ensuring your professionalism is there for all to see.

As an interdisciplinary writer, I have covered numerous topics and fields from arts and culture, travel, social and historical critique, health and beauty to human-interest stories for global NGOs. Likewise, my writing format and expertise ranges from essays and articles all the way to poetry and screenwriting. Similarly, outside of writing and academia, I have many years of experience across multiple different disciplines, from education and teaching to filmmaking. I possess a unique and defined narrative in all my work that is versatile in nature. So whether you are looking for a music review oozing with flamboyant poetic language or in need of an analytical research-driven feature for a scientific or sociological journal, I am your writer. I look forward to hearing from you.

I'm an expert in English Literature, European History, Art History, and Ancient Civilizations. Over the past four years I have been working on my personal projects in literature, history and fashion design. I’ve been divulging my work through the website Academia.edu with a very positive response from people across different fields of the Humanities, and a couple of my essays have been used in Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College, North Carolina, as case studies. My unique combination of technical expertise, creative ability, and experience managing projects and teams, editing and selling, makes me the ideal candidate to help you with this project. I am used to deadlines, pressure and high workloads, which I believe to be essential in any writing or editorial field. I work as a freelance editor for Casemate Publishers in the military history department, which has further developed my organisational skills, diligence and attention to detail. My successful achievements within the department have earned me more projects across other areas, namely the ancient history department. Having also been a ghost writer, means I have unique focus and am able to adapt to every task I’m presented with, resulting in a versatile set of skills and work ethics. I am a fast learner and a versatile writer. I've been writing content for different types of magazines, business websites and blogs for 8 years. I'm an expert in English Literature, European History, Art History, and Ancient Civilisations. I've also achieved certifications in Bid Writing, Digital Marketing, SEO, and Adobe Photoshop.
