About me
Friendly, efficient, and reliable
Prior to embarking on freelance proofreading and copy-editing, I
worked in the travel industry for over twenty-five years and
established a travel business with my husband. My corporate
experience encompassed all aspects of operating a business. I was
wholly involved in sales, marketing, administration, accounts,
producing holiday brochures, and with the advent of the Internet,
setting up a website.
It was during those years of copious brochure production that a
love of editing and proofreading came to the fore — I thoroughly
enjoyed the whole process — from the initial stages of design,
copywriting, copy-editing, right down to proofreading the end
product. I have, therefore, been informally proofreading and copy-
editing for a long time! In addition, the nature of the travel
business requires the utmost accuracy — on all types of
documentation. It is vitally important for details to be checked
and double-checked; therefore, precision becomes second nature.
I have a BA (Hons) degree in Humanities — hence my interest in an
extensive range of subjects; and I have completed the
Proofreading and Copy-editing courses with Chapterhouse
Publishing.
I am bilingual — English and Greek, and understand French
(written and spoken) up to A-level standard.
I am happy to proofread/copy-edit material ranging from books to
blogs in a wide variety of subjects — with the exception of science
and mathematics. I enjoy the formality of non-fiction books and
academic/educational texts, and the informality of popular fiction
and blogs. I also have experience in writing newsletters on a
number of different topics.
In my spare time I am an avid reader of historical fiction and non-
fiction; and of course, I enjoy travelling (actively seeking out
'hidden gems'). Food also plays a major part in my life and would
travel miles to visit a highly-recommended restaurant.
