AM Proofreading and Editing

ADRIENNE MORRIS BA, DipEDIT

Adrienne is an energetic and talented person, with considerable experience in a wide range of areas. Born in New Zealand, she has lived and worked in Australia, Spain and England.

She graduated from the University of Auckland with a BA in Music, Latin, French and Linguistics. She is also a highly accomplished classical pianist.

With her husband, Geoff, she ran a small business in England for some 24 years, producing bespoke china and porcelain, achieving a high reputation for excellent quality and service. The majority of their work was done for some of the top companies in Britain and Europe as well as organisations such as English Heritage, The National Trust, and various cathedrals and castles in the United Kingdom. Adrienne worked in all areas of the company - screen-printing, production and accounts, as well as designing their advertising material, leaflets and websites, so 'checking, checking and checking again!' is second nature to her.

Sadly, Geoff passed away unexpectedly, but she kept the business going successfully until 2006, when she decided to close the company and return to New Zealand.

Adrienne always had a love of English and studied Latin to university level, giving her a superb grounding in English grammar, so she decided to study for a Diploma in Book Editing, Proofreading and Publishing, which she gained in 2008, and now works freelance. Particular interests include classical music, history, archaeology, photography, animals, food and wine, porcelain and glass, travel and computers.

Her services are offered not only to publishing houses, but also to private and corporate sectors. She is a self-motivated and dedicated worker, with a love of challenging and interesting work; she has a wide general knowledge and good business skills, has great attention to detail, and also typesetting, layout, photographic and photo restoration abilities, all of which give her a range of experience and expertise - wider than most proofreaders - to offer her clients.

Adrienne is a member of the New Zealand Society of Authors. She works freelance for the Canadian e-publisher, Eternal Press, and New Holland Publishing, in Auckland.

Her latest freelance contract was the total design of a non-fiction book, including editing and proofreading, photo retouching, layout and cover. Quite an undertaking for one person. It is now on the market, self-published by the client, but a totally professional production. Read more ...

She has real commitment, energy and enthusiasm for all undertakings, along with a good sense of humour, which is vital these days.
