Publications

I am an experienced writer and editor, with a particular specialism in heritage-based publications. To date I have written two books, numerous articles and conference papers, a large number of archaeological reports and several book reviews. I was the editor of a peer-reviewed journal for six years and have worked extensively as a commercial editor and proofreader. A full list and digital copies of my publications can be found below.
