Hello! As you can see, my skills lie in English language services. I am of British-German nationality and have specialized in worked with writers whose first language is not English. So whether you write in English or have had your text translated, I have developed good intuition for gauging what you are trying to say, and how best to help you say it. I have many years’ experience in publishing, including being the English Editor for Book on a Tree and part of the editorial team for The Mechanics’ Institute Review. Previous companies for whom I have written include Disney Worldwide Publishing and HSBC. Most of my editing has been in fiction for adults and children, but I have also worked on academic pieces, short stories and creative non-fiction. I am an emerging author myself, so understand the challenges of having your ‘baby’ scrutinized. However, my clients always praise me for my sensitivity and my ability to articulate what I believe needs to be done, and why. As an editor, I can adopt a macro- or micro-approach depending on your needs. I pay sharp attention to detail, and as a proofreader will always alert you if I notice a potential editorial concern. My other experience includes copywriting, writing and supervising comic-book scripts, screenwriting, and translation from German and Italian into English. I hold degrees in English (with Modern & Medieval Languages) from the University of Cambridge, and in Creative Writing (with a module in Publishing) from Birkbeck, University of London. One writer I worked with, Ailsa Wood, had these kind words to say: “[Antonia] helped me shape, develop and vastly improve the story and structure but was also prepared to spend time discussing any and all aspects of the characters and plot, offering support and advice as well as insightful suggestions and honest criticism. She is well-informed, extremely professional and thorough, with faultless attention to detail and an excellent understanding of the genre we worked on. I enjoyed our discussions and valued her input greatly, and would warmly recommend her as an editor. I would certainly look forward to working with her again if the opportunity arose.”.”
