About the editor

With a PhD, MTh, BA (hons) in Psychology, and BTH (hons) in Practical Theology, I have a broad knowledge base and am able to work across disciplines. This is complemented by the vast experience I have accumulated from working in various roles in academia as a tutor, lecturer, academic coordinator, programme coordinator, and interim head of department at various times during my academic career.

I have been offering professional proofreading and editing services both nationally and internationally since 2011. With a good eye for detail, I help produce a clearly understood, grammatically correct, polished document, making your writing the very best it can be. I work on a wide range of non-fictional and academic material, including books, book chapters, journal articles, manuscripts, dissertations, theses, research proposals, and so on.

Although, on occasion, I have also edited the odd autobiography or some fictional material.

Most of my work is with humanities and social sciences texts. However, I welcome enquiries relating to almost any subject matter, and have edited a wide range of topics in a plethora of diverse fields, including:

missiology theology homiletics religious studies philosophy psychology social work child and youth care work family studies education science and technology education psychology of education sociology theological ethics engineering (robotics) chemistry agriculture
