Contributing Writer
I was a full-time professional librarian for more than 25 years before redundancy made me take a fresh direction. I now work as a freelance proofreader, editor and indexer, with most of my clients being people for whom English is not their first language. I live in Leicestershire, England, where I help to run the village bowls club.
