Welcome to the website of Poems and Proofs. Based in Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex, I am a freelance proofreader and an Entry-Level Member of the Chartered Institute of Editors and Proofreaders. I run creative writing workshops for children and young people in one-to-one, group and school-based settings, and for local arts festivals. My first full poetry collection - Breakfast at the Origami Café - was published by Blue Diode Press in November 2020. I hope you enjoy browsing the site to find out more about the different strands of my work. If you would like to book a reading, enquire about my writing groups or discuss your proofreading needs, don't hesitate to contact me on tessjolly1@gmail.com or 07940 466035.
