I have a particular interest in proofreading material on counted-thread embroidery, such as cross stitch, needlepoint, pulled-thread work and drawn-thread work. Years of practical experience in embroidery make me well suited to this task.
I also enjoy working on marketing material such as catalogues, magazines and leaflets, where consistency in presentation in layout, images and text is crucial.
I am happy to help people produce memoirs for family and friends in a format ready for printing. It will contain front and back covers and any images and documents you wish to include. It will have full preliminary pages (title page, dedication, contents page and acknowledgements), appendices if required, footnotes and full running headers. Please contact me if this is something you are considering.
