What can you do after a degree in 17th-century Spanish comic drama? Go into translating, journalism, publishing, copywriting and ultimately writing. I'm now a freelance author and editor with experience in books, newspapers, magazines, digital content and layout. After a couple of years as a thwarted translator, I contrived to move into journalism and have more than 20 years of experience in provincial newspapers, educational publishing and lifestyle magazines. My areas of expertise include copywriting, editing, formatting, picture research, design and proofreading. I'm also an author with eight books published in various genres – YA fiction, historical mystery, modern adult fantasy and contemporary fiction. Interests include art, design, botany, history, cinema, cookery, murder mysteries and film noir. Among others.
