Do you need an editor or content designer? You’ve landed in the right place.

I’m Brooke

As a content editor with nearly 25 years’ experience, I’ve worked on award-winning children’s books, I’ve written and edited loads of kids’ activity books and educational content, and I’ve edited and proofread a mountain of adult non-fiction. In online learning, I’ve edited and done QA on online university courses, as well as primary- and secondary-school online assessments. In the online content space, I’ve designed information architecture and planned content for internal- and external-facing sites.

However you found your way here, welcome.
