Welcome to the website of Poems and Proofs. Based in Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex, I am a freelance proofreader and an Entry-Level Member of the Chartered Institute of Editors and Proofreaders. I also run creative writing workshops for children and young people in one-to-one, group and school-based settings, and for local arts festivals. My first full poetry collection - Breakfast at the Origami Café - was published by Blue Diode Press in November 2020. Browse the site to find out more about the different strands of my work, and don't hesitate to contact me on tessjolly1@gmail.com or 07940 466035 to discuss your proofreading requirements, enquire about my writing groups or book a reading.
