Editing

I developed for the V&A's Cast Courts

I am an experienced editor, copy-editor and proofreader, specialising in educational and academic publications; creative non-fiction such as memoir; and heritage interpretation (labels, brochures, audio guides and so on).

I have trained with the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP).

Rebecca facilitated the label writing and editing process for new galleries at Museum of English Rural Life, Reading. She was excellent to work with and showed a strong and grounded awareness of the target audiences and style and content needed for these audiences. She worked confidently and efficiently with a range of staff to make sure deadlines were met and successive stages of the project completed.

Rebecca is an inspiring, and sensitive editor. She edited my book Dancing with Life And Death: a Transformative Memoir and took great care to give me appropriate feedback and ideas as to what would make the book more widely accessible and interesting to my readers. I highly recommend her work.

Rebecca is a professional. She checked that the English translation of my book Asmerom: An Ode to Life was accurate and clarified many ambiguous points. She also made sure the style was appropriate and that the punctuation and formatting were consistent.

Rebecca worked on Tails of the Alpujarras 2, a compilation of animal stories published to raise funds for Valle Verde animal group. She cleaned up punctuation, spelling and vocabulary; queried and corrected ambiguities; and created a style sheet for the volume. She worked on both English and Spanish language. She was thorough and professional and I would recommend her editing services.
