Editing, proofreading, writing copy is something Marian has done in all her working roles since leaving university. She has worked as a civil servant, a secondary school teacher and as a journalist, writing and sub-editing for a variety of print and online publications. She began doing transcription work for a local university while on a career break after having her second child.
As well as working with a range of clients from all walks of life, sizes of business and with a variety of requirements, she also contracts for a global legal services provider, producing and proofreading transcripts for public bodies, courts and tribunals. She is also an English-language editor for an intermational transcription, captioning and translation company.
While Sounds Words is ostensibly Marian, if needs be she works with a pool of talented colleagues who all help each other out on contracts and projects in order to deliver work in a timely manner. Therefore, while no job or contract is too small, requests are never too big because projects can be resourced effectively.
Marian holds a BA (Hons) from the University of York (English with Related Literature) and postgraduate qualifications from both Sussex and York universities. She is NCTJ qualified (Magazine Journalism) with a distinction in sub-editing.
