About me
Parole, parole, parole… Words, words, words… Ephemeral, practically weightless, they are carried on the throaty vocals of a famous Italian song from the ‘70s that often pops into my head when I try to describe what I do.
Bookworm by nature, I evolved into a wordsmith – a term that I eyed suspiciously for a long time, before I suddenly realised that it fitted me. Unlike the sentiment expressed in the song, I am careful with my words. I weigh their meaning and impact, aware of their importance - perhaps because I've never lost that feeling of wonderment when opening a book: a new world, crafted entirely out of vowels and consonants.
I have a genuine aptitude for language and I love the creativity that writing can offer, but I happily combine it with the structured rigidity of grammar rules.
I worked in-house in an editorial department of an academic publisher before, over a decade ago, I decided to take the plunge and become a freelancer. Since then, I have completed all sorts of projects for some of the major UK publishing houses, as well as businesses and self-published authors.
I enjoy the variety of my workload – the nuances of language and grammar will never cease to fascinate me – and I consider it a privilege to have the chance of meeting and helping so many amazing people.
On the rare occasions when I’m not sitting at my desk or with my nose stuck in a book, you will find me cooking, scouring possible travel destinations or desperately trying to keep the vegetable plants in my garden alive.
