I’m a freelance editor of all things words - books, articles and campaigns. If you’re writing a manuscript and want a trusty pair of eyes over it, I’m your person. I take on sample page and entire manuscript reviews, structural and copy edits, and proofreads. If you have any questions at all, get in touch via my email or my website.

Sunnie Matcha

Sunnie Matcha is a Southsea-born speciality matcha pop-up business, dedicated to serving only top-grade, organic, first-harvest matcha. Our syrups are all homemade, and our drinks are mostly (if not entirely) vegan, that can be made gluten-free too. Our aim to prove that exceptional matcha doesn’t have to be boring. We’re all about bringing creativity, flavour and beautiful aesthetics to each cup served. Sunnie is proud to work alongside local, women-owned businesses and the wonderful Southsea community. We’re passionate about bringing women in our local area together, creating a space that celebrates connection, community and collaboration — without ever compromising on taste or aesthetics.
