Editing and subediting work


S ince 2004, I have worked in both production, subediting and writing for national magazines and papers. My experience includes time working as a production editor and also as reviews editor of NME.

I am currently working full-time as a subeditor on the Guardian news desk, work that involves not only speed and accuracy in the subbing of articles but SEO and CMS skills, including maintaining at refreshing the site's global front pages.

I have also edited several books in Bloomsbury's 33 1/3 series, and recently joined the editorial board of the Manchester University Press series British Pop Archive.
