Hi, I'm Hilary. I have been a technical editor for more than 20 years.
Initially, I worked for a small business, then I went freelance in 2009.
I have also been delivering training since 2005. I used to struggle
with Word, but seeing my colleagues working effectively with the program
spurred me to get my own skills up to scratch. Now, I love helping my
fellow editors to work faster and more effectively.
