I am an Australian lawyer with 8 years experience. I am currently on maternity leave. In my university days I was a high achiever and editor of the university's Law Review (an academic journal). I have not lost my touch with academic writing. I am pedantic about accurately following citation guidelines and very familiar with legal citation and APA citation guidelines. Prior to becoming a lawyer I worked as an Editorial Assistant with a prominent educational publisher, Thomson Learning. I hold a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Melbourne majoring in English Literature and a Bachelor of Laws. I am also a skilled creative writer. My first novel was long listed for the Australian Vogel's Literary Awards. I have broad interests and I am capable of writing across a broad range of subject areas. I am new to freelancer and keen to build my reputation.
