about me
I’ve loved writing ever since I can remember. As a young child, I’d write my own stories based on my favourite books, carefully crafting sequels featuring characters I’d created and recording them all in my neatest handwriting in a little blue notebook. I became hooked on books as soon as I could read. I always had my head stuck in one! And it wasn’t long before I recognised the power that good writing has – to inform, educate, move, inspire, and expand horizons. It’s not surprising, then, that I went on to study English literature at university. After attaining a first-class degree from Royal Holloway, University of London, I trained as an English teacher, working for three years at a comprehensive school in Hampshire. This was followed by fourteen years in local government, where I spent much of my time writing reports, strategies, and plans. In 2017, having obtained a certificate in proofreading and copy-editing from The Writers Bureau, I set up Harmony Writing and Editing Services. It brings together perfectly my love of writing and my passion for working with people. And I’ve been happily helping clients ever since! Outside of my work life, for over two decades I’ve had a deep interest in the mind-body-spirit connection. This has led me to delve into many related subjects, including holistic health, energy healing, psychology, spirituality, metaphysics, and complementary and alternative medicine. Born out of this is a special interest in supporting those who provide services in these and related areas. How I work with clients I offer a highly personalised, friendly one-to-one support service. It’s important to me that I get to know you and understand your writing goals and unique needs, so that I can tailor the way I work with you accordingly. I believe in collaboration and working in partnership. No one knows your audience or understands what you want to say better than you do. What’s more, your writing style and voice are unique to you; they reflect who you are. I see my job as simply to enhance that – not to change it through the editing process. At the same time, my aim is to help you develop and finesse your writing so that you can be assured of its quality, keeping in mind your goals and intentions. I understand, too, that writing can be a deeply personal process. I’ll always handle your work with sensitivity and care.
