Profile

With over twenty-five years' experience in all facets of publishing, I have a strong interest and expertise in preparing finished manuscripts for publication. I have been responsible for the production of a wide range of material in many subject areas in trade non-fiction and at all levels of educational publishing. Genealogy and family history are subject areas in which I've worked most recently. My educational background is a BA (History) and Diploma, Book Editing and Design. The author of a best-seller I edited, on culture and technology, commented: "Thank you for your stunning precision and lovely patience."
