About me
Organised, creative, flexible
An editor, proofreader and multi-genre author, I offer editorial services to individuals and organisations. I also tutor creative writing and scriptwriting at Oxford University's Department for Continuing Education, and professional courses for the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading.
I was a bookseller and book marketer for several years, and have a Master’s degree in vampire fiction and a doctorate in post-religious apocalyptic fiction. I've published nine novels and various stories under my own name and co-writing with Sarah Lotz as S.L. Grey.
Beyond wordworking, I am a fan of art, food, puzzles, sport and games, music, photography and travel. I was born and bred in Johannesburg, South Africa, and live in Warwickshire, England.
Contact
I'm creative, flexible and organised and I'm always looking for stimulating work and creative collaborations. Based in Leamington Spa in the United Kingdom, I work with clients around the world. Let's connect.
