I am a professional editor, qualified teacher, and a professor. I have authored many academic works of non-fiction (over 200 articles), led international reports, and edited textbooks, symposium volumes, book-trade non-fiction, as well as fiction. Some of the books I have edited are below, along with a selection of journals. I am still an Editor-in-Chief for Elsevier and work with many other publishers, including commissioning, founding publishing imprints, as well as book production.
My services include:
- Technical editing - anything from a PhD thesis to government reports and other international documents.
- Manuscript evaluation and critic.
- Editing of non-fiction books (trade or academic).
- Editing and proofreading of fiction.
- Paperback and e-book formatting.
- Aspects of book production.
Editing Services, Proofreading and Publishing
My involvement in editing textbooks, journals and other non-fiction partly arises from my passion for protecting the environment and human health. I am a specialist in poisons and pathology, which has been useful to my fellow authors writing crime fiction! I also enjoy editing thrillers and historical fiction. It is my privilege to have served some of these publications for more than 20 years, as well as teach students of science, medicine, and creative writing.
