To support my professional development, I take part in a number of networks that help members share good practice and keep abreast of new skills and developments.

I write a column for the Society of Editors and Proofreaders (SfEP) magazine Editing Matters called 'A cut above: how to be a true editorial professional'. You can read some of these by clicking on the links below:

Editing Matters May-June

I sit on the Steering Group of the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) Publishers Forum. I would urge anyone in the voluntary sector publishing to join this forum, which runs events throughout the year. For more information, click here.

On September 19 2006, I gave a lecture at the SfEP conference entitled Taking a client-focused approach.

I am also a member of the National Union of Journalists, an Associate of the SfEP and an NCVO Approved Consultant.
