Writer, editor, proofreader

I have more than 10 years' experience as a senior writer, sub-editor and page layout designer with some of the UK and Australia's leading newspapers, print and online publications. For engaging and accurate writing, rewriting and proofreading of articles, or for clean, crisp and attractive page layouts, I won't be beaten.
