With an english degree (B.Arts) and over twelve years experience as an editor, I work hard at establishing good working relationships with my clients and providing an efficient and accurate service.

    I have had the opportunity to work with a broad variety of texts and manuscripts over the years and enjoy both fiction and non-fiction projects. I particularly enjoy working with first time authors and am highly skilled at structural (developmental) editing.

    Two collaborations of note: a collaborative project in 2006 which resulted in the publication of the Aliwal Shoal Dive Guide by Dr. Jenifer Goldberg, all proceeds of which went to the WWF marine conservation fund, and the publication in 2009 of The Early intervention Of Alcohol Abuse Problems In South Africa - a Cognitive Behavioural Approach by Prof. Basil J. Pillay (University of KwaZulaNatal) and Prof. Fanny Duckert (University of Oslo).

    In 2008 I wrote and self-published my first children's book, Freddy Focus Frog III, and was invited to present it to audiences at the newly launched children's programme at the 2008 annual international Cape Town Book Fair.

    Downtime will find me chasing sunshine in the woods or doing what I love best - snuggled up on the sofa with my nose in a book!

      Lisa did a thorough job on both these books, picked up issues that the previous 'proof reader' missed out.

      Lisa was a saving grace. I had a crazy deadline and she was kind enough to adjust her schedule to meet it. She was attentive and gave really good suggestions as to how to make my book better.

      She edited what was in effect my first draft and she did a good job. I will work with her again.
