Cutting the crap since 1981
I have over four decades of experience in the printing and publishing industry, during which I rose from in-house proofreader at a small printing office to chief copy-editor at a global publishing house.
In 2012, I was headhunted by a US multinational corporation for whom I localised and edited webpages, and I have several well-respected client companies that use my services exclusively.
