About

Books, glorious books.

Some people are drawn to movies, others to music – but me, I’ve always loved books. I hope to work with you on yours.

The educational bit:
I hold an Associate Degree in Professional Writing and Editing from RMIT and a Bachelor of Arts (with a major in Creative Writing and a minor in Linguistics) from Melbourne University.

The in-house experience:
I have worked in editorial departments in educational, trade, medical and boutique publishing houses where I was delighted to hone my skills and learn all about book production. My favourite bit was always cracking open the box of books fresh off the printer (and praying not to see a typo!)

The professional stuff:
I am a Professional Member of Editors Victoria and IPEd (the Institute of Professional Editors Limited).

In my freelancing career, I have helped many writers get their book babies out into the world. Seeing writers hold a physical copy of their hard work is my greatest joy (especially if there is a book launch party involved!)

In life outside the computer screen, I love surf, snow, dogs, adventures, teaching yoga, Harry Potter, the Western Bulldogs (AFL) and finding magic. See my mood board pictures below to check if we share a vibe.

I live in Lennox Head, NSW, Australia
