I have over 35 years' experience editing mainly academic (political economy and art) books, articles and reports and have recently begun to edit fiction as well.<br /><br />For many years I lived in southern Africa, and so I have extensive background knowledge of that region.<br /><br />I have a degree in Librarianship - which is the best foundation for a career in editing, with its emphasis on accuracy and correct punctuation, as well as in the use of references.<br /><br />I am a voracious reader.
