My most recent proofreading projects for Pen & Sword Books have been on a wide variety of subjects. These have included manuscripts about the Cold War-era space race, lost London pubs and British truck drivers working in the former Soviet Union. My latest such project was entitled ‘The Art Lover’s Guide to Amsterdam’ and was […]
My latest completed proofread for Pen & Sword Books was on another subject somewhat different from my usual ‘beat’, the title in question being ‘A History of Kepstowe Freight’.

My latest completed proofread for Pen & Sword Books was something very different from my usual subject matter – the topic in question being London’s Lost Pubs. Written by Sam Cullen, the manuscript was an overview of a cross-section of public houses closed for different reasons since the start of this century. The locations in which these […]

Treadwell, the story was an overview of what was known as the ‘Space Race’, happening from the mid-1950s onwards between America and Russia. I found this a most interesting […]
One of my more recent proofreading projects that I undertook for Pen & Sword Books was a manuscript on the subject of the Shropshire & Montgomeryshire Light Railway.

It was a non-technical overview of […]
My latest completed proofreading project for Pen & Sword Books was one of those ‘one-off’ projects that I get sent every now and again, this one entitled Mallory, Irvine and Everest. I would imagine that most people will be aware that the first successful climb of Mount Everest was in 1953. However, this manuscript was something of […]
My latest completed proofreading project for Pen & Sword Books was a picture book entitled The London DM and DMS Buses. Drawing on the vast photographic collection of the book’s author, Mr Jim Blake, the manuscript looked at the short and troublesome life of the DM and DMS group of buses. By a Government directive, London Transport […]
My most recent completed proofreading project for Pen & Sword Books was another in their series of ‘Locomotive Portfolios’, the locomotive class in question being the Class 22 diesel-hydraulic engines built by North British for the Western Region (WR) of British Railways (BR).
