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 and photography. I was born and bred in Johannesburg, South Africa, and live in Warwickshire, England.
Contact
I'm creative, flexible and organised. Based in Warwickshire in the United Kingdom, I work with clients around the world. Let's connect.
