About me
A literature enthusiast who is keen on exploring and working within the publishing industry. While my primary interest is in editing, I love learning about and working with various aspects of the publishing industry, as I feel it helps me to be cognizant and do my work effectively.
On the side, I love exploring the intricacies and nuances of the English language and how they can be used to create a language that is more inclusive and empathetic.
