Welcome to the website of Poems and Proofs!

Based in West Sussex, in the UK, I provide copyediting and proofreading services to publishers and independent authors. I am proud to be an Entry-Level Member of the Chartered Institute of Editors and Proofreaders.


A qualified primary and TEFL teacher with a Master's Degree in Creative and Critical Writing, I also run creative writing workshops for children and young people in one-to-one, group and school-based settings.

My first full collection of poetry, Breakfast at the Origami
Café, was published in 2020.

Don't
hesitate to get in touch if you feel I can help you with your project.
