About me
Hi, I'm a sharp and promising editor/copywriter with a BA in English Literature & Philosophy and an MA in Contemporary and Modern Literature. I've taken part in three diverse publishing internships which have allowed me to develop skills in areas such as proofreading, copy-editing, sub-editing, copywriting and publicity. My interests include current affairs, history, health, music and literature–all topics I love to read and write about.
