ABOUT ME
Gina has put a professional gloss on my amateur writing while showing endless patience with my delays and lack of computer skills.
I am delighted with the result.

Experience
Hello, I’m Gina, a Professional Member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP).
You can rely on me to give you a personal service and my full attention to your words.
I’ve completed rigorous training with the CIEP in both proofreading and copyediting, passing every course with either a distinction or a merit.
As a keen adventurer, hiker and cyclist based in the Lake District, I specialise in outdoor literature, as well as autobiography and memoirs. But whatever the genre, I'll make sure your words are the best they can be.
With a BA Hons in English Literature from Cardiff University, you'll never find me without a book on the go.
Previously, in my career as communications manager for the Education and Training Inspectorate for Wales, I enjoyed creating engaging and influential messages for schools and colleges.
I've worked on fiction, non-fiction, corporate documents and magazines for publishers, businesses and individuals. Here's a sample of titles:
As a new author I realised there’s so much more to presenting a manuscript professionally for final book design. This is where Gina really helped and delivered.
She prepared my manuscript meticulously and also highlighted a few areas for clarification. It was the final and very reassuring stage in the process for me.
I can recommend Gina's approach - a telephone conversation to understand the requirements followed up by a clear timetable.
