About me

I’m an editor and proofreader specialising in historical fiction.

I work on all historical periods, from prehistory to contemporary history, and on all subgenres of historical fiction, including action/adventure, crime/mystery/thriller, family sagas, and romance. I also work on historical fiction for children and young adults.

You can find out more about me on my website.
