About Me


I am a native English-language proofreader and copy-editor based in Sweden. I have many years of experience in producing and editing clear and accurate written material for use by a wide range of UK government departments and their customers.

I have been working as a freelancer for three years now with clients based in both Sweden and the UK. I have worked with different charities and businesses producing accurate, impactful text for books, newspaper articles, marketing material, press releases, websites and annual and quarterly reports. I am a professional member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading. 

I also work producing summaries of financial and business articles for busy executives and have recently started working as a translator of non-fiction, mainly business-related texts, from Swedish into English. I speak several languages and my experience working with colleagues from across the world means that I am particularly well-placed to work on material produced by or targeted at non-native English speakers.
