Resisting the possibility of becoming a 'jack of all trades and master of none', I apply myself to each skillset with care and attention to detail. I am determined that all my clients should receive excellent service, and the feedback and repeat business I have received from happy customers suggests that I do succeed in this aim.

    I have acted in plays and interactive events, directed, stage managed, costumed and propped film and theatre as diverse as television comedies and touring operas. I have designed posters, websites, theatrical programmes, book covers and interiors; accompanied and musically directed large community choirs; taught piano and other subjects to all ages and run large events. I have proofread programmes, novels and essays; restored damaged photos; illustrated books and worked with wood, fabric and other media on various artistic projects. I am also a keen reader of general fiction, history, theology and philosophy, sociology and psychology. As a result I have a head full of (mostly) useful information, and a keen interest in adding to and using it.

    I proofread online for a number of years in the past, then left it for other pursuits, but have recently been deluged with requests locally from people who have been writing novels during Covid lockdown. Word of mouth has kept me busy, but having largely run out of locals, and having lost a great deal of theatrical work in this strange time, I am keen to help the wider writing community with my excellent spelling and grammar, minute attention to detail, and patience.
