Joined on June 21, 2012
I am a native English speaker from the UK with professional experience editing and proofreading fiction and non-fiction, children's books, websites, academic papers and translated texts. I am an efficient proofreader with a keen eye for detail, proficient in Japanese (N2+) and French. I attained a 1st class honours degree in English & Japanese from the University of Leeds, and have since assisted the Editorial departments of esteemed publishers such as Random House and Bloomsbury, as well as non-profit publishers.
