Hello – I'm Ruth.

I’m a qualified editor and proofreader (Chartered Institute of  Editing and Proofreading professional member) with extensive experience editing websites, newsletters, business books and articles. 

I also work for contemporary Shetland knitwear studio Nielanell and I’m co-organiser of Shetland Story Slam.  

Previously I’ve managed communications for a digital agency and an arts charity. I’ve managed craft-focused retail, and curated and produced craft exhibitions, ideas conferences and newsletters.    

I've got an MA in Cultural & Critical Theory from the University of Brighton, and a BA in Visual Communication from Edinburgh College of Art. I have a qualification in wine & spirits – which goes nicely with my (separate) training in stand-up comedy and leadership.

I live in Shetland, the most northerly islands in the UK. Which means I love to talk about the weather – and we might be working together remotely. 

You can connect with me on LinkedIn, or get in touch directly.
