About
My Qualifications
I hold a bachelor’s in English from Oxford, a first-class honors. I then earned a master’s in Linguistics from the University of Cambridge, my research focusing on the syntax, semantics and psycholinguistics of English.
My Experties
My expertise lies in all aspects of English grammar, syntax and style. I am a third eye that quickly spots subtle errors and inconsistencies in written text. I have developed style guides and created editorial standards for large organizations (Linde, Tesco, Aviva).
My Experience
My over ten years of work as a language specialist spans non-fiction publishing, journalism and academia. I have enjoyed working as a copy editor for major newspapers (The Guardian, Metro) and magazines (Best, BBC) and have taught writing and language courses at several universities (Durham, Warwick).
My Projects
I have authored several books on grammar and writing, including ’The Grammar Handbook: A Complete Guide to English Usage’, a UK bestseller. Major newspapers and magazines have showcased my articles on grammar and writing, and I am frequently invited to speak at conferences and events on language and communication.
