I am a former academic historian of philosophy and have researched and taught at top-level universities in Europe, the USA and Asia. My academic writing has been published by the best-regarded presses in my field (Oxford University Press and Cambridge University Press, among others). **Writing**
Beyond academia, I have ghostwritten four non-fiction books (including a UK bestseller) and many speeches (drawing on my extensive public speaking experience), as well as articles that have appeared in national newspapers and international magazines. Writing under my own name, I have produced content for websites, business copy for world-leading brands, and educational materials for a range of institutions. I will turn my mind to any writing task presented and will produce well-written copy backed up with a combination of solid analytical ability and literary flair. **Editing**
Since leaving academia to focus on my creative writing I have worked as an editor for scholars, especially non-native English speakers seeking to improve the presentation of their work and finalise texts for the press. I have prepared more than two dozen books and hundreds of articles/chapters, many for the leading presses in the English-speaking world. In my copy-editing, I ensure that the final text reads as if written by a native-speaker, extensively rewriting sentences and paragraphs if necessary, while maintaining the original voice and rhythms of the author.
