    PROFESSIONAL BOOK PUBLISHING WORK: 13 years in-house (illustrated books), now freelance consultant.

    PERFORMANCE SKILLS:
    - Voiceovers: corporate videos, film narration, online training, educational audio (e.g. learning English as a foreign language). Voice style: Warm, gently authoritative. Also bubbly and cheeky. Accents and character voices.
    - Trained actor: screen and stage.
    - Lectures + public speaking: combining my performance and publishing skills, I enjoy researching and presenting information in a lively, engaging way. I have many years experience of sales conferences, company presentations etc.

    BOOK EDITORIAL SERVICES:
    - Script development: working with text before it's edited (addressing issues such as structure, correct tone for target audience, keeping to contracted word length)
    - Copy-editing: styling the text, making sure it reads well, avoiding repetition etc.
    - Proofreading: ensuring consistent spelling, punctuation etc.
    - Picture research: I have in-depth knowledge of many collections, plus excellent budget negotiation skills
    - Project management: in addition to the above, this can include budget control, scheduling, flatplan development, team liaison
    - Wide range of contacts: I can source expert authors, editors, designers, translators, indexers, illustrators, photographers etc.
    - Illustrated book production: I offer services such as colour proof correction and liaising with repro houses, printers etc.

    NB: I will not write CVs for people (in my professional life how the applicant has written their CV and cover letter is a big part of how they are assessed for the role. Someone else writing or designing the CV would be deemed dishonest).

    Area Covered: I am based in London, but fully equipped to work remotely so can do work for anyone, anywhere!
