As well as being an active writer and magician, I'm also a legal journalist, specialising in indexing, copy-editing and proof-reading, and have worked on a full-time professional basis for companies in both the UK and Australia.

 

Companies I've worked for on a freelance basis include:

 

Butterworths plc (now LexisNexis UK)

The College of Law

IBC UK Conferences Ltd

Institute of Advanced Legal Studies

Jordans

Lloyd's of London Press

 

Though I am primarily a legal indexer and copy-editor,  my knowledge of, and qualifications in, history, literature, drama and the arts in general, mean that I am very happy to undertake editorial tasks across a wide non-legal range.

That's when I'm not making people disappear or telling you the name of the long-lost best friend you haven't seen since you were at school together. 

 

I'm joking, of course.

 

I never make people disappear.

 

Not unless they've really annoyed me.
