I am a researcher, writer, editor and proofreader with a background in book publishing www.mandigomez.com. I have over fifteen years publishing experience in most subject areas. Much of my work is art related: Islamic and eighteenth-century European art and design and the social history of London, in particular the River Thames and London's hospitals.
I set up WEBBED in 2004 to focus specifically on text for the web. WEBBED works with clients to research, write, edit or proofread text to achieve well-written, succinct and compelling copy. My objective is to focus both on the client's needs and the reader's comfort in navigating the website.
