I have a BA and a PhD in classics and am a full member of the Association of Freelance Editors, Proofreaders and Indexers of Ireland (AFEPI Ireland). I also have several professional qualifications from CMP, SfEP and the Publishing Training Centre (UK).

I have been running my own editing business, Irish Academic Editing, since 2015 and my skills include proofreading, copy editing, academic editing, academic writing, and editorial training.

My clients include academic publishers, art publishers, academic institutions, cultural institutions, local authorities, government agencies, and individual writers and researchers.

I was an academic administrator for three years and a lecturer in arts and humanities for 20 years. I am also the author of several academic publications (six published books and a seventh in progress, plus journal articles) on the history of eighteenth-century travel and collecting.
