Editing, Writing, Teaching Services
I am an experienced editor, writer and teacher.
Editing: I can edit with flair (structural or copy edit) and proof read efficiently at reasonable hourly rates (contact me for rates).
Writing: I can write for you if you have gathered the background material.
Teaching: I enjoy running writing workshops for children, and talking to groups about books and bees.
