New Zealand Professional Proofreading Services

About Me

—  I am a highly experienced proofreader and am actively seeking new clients within New Zealand. I am happy to take on projects from wider afield also.

—  Having emigrated to New Zealand from the UK nearly ten years ago, I am now based in New Plymouth.

—  I have a background in law, following which I financed extensive travels and postgraduate psychology studies by freelancing as a proofreader. I have spent twenty years proofreading professionally, and worked with major publishers in the UK and New Zealand on a wide array of projects.

—  My main client in the UK for over 10 years was:

  • Oxford University Press

Other clients included:

  • University of Oxford Publications Office 
  • Blackwell Publishing Ltd
  • Clinical Publishing Services
  • Advance Typesetting Ltd
  • Sweet & Maxwell
  • University of Maastricht

—  In New Zealand I have worked on major projects with Blackwell & Ruth, Dash Editorial, Magpie Pulp, and Creative Leap, among others. I am also an active resident proofreader for eAngel. 

—  Subjects I have extensively worked on in the past include: Law, Philosophy, Medicine, Economics, History, Business Administration, Corporate Governance, English Literature, Politics, Classics (including Latin and Ancient Greek), Biographies, Theology, Anthropology, Psychology, Linguistics, Cooking, among others.

—  My work has included numerous major academic books, journals, prospectuses and proposals. Many of the books have been reviewed in literary journals and the quality press.

—  I have a broad range of knowledge and interests and am happy to take on all projects, large or small.
