Author: ameliacarruthers

I am Amelia Carruthers, an expert academic tutor, writer and editor based in Chiswick, London. After completing an MA in Art History, History and Philosophy at the University of St. Andrews, I moved to Bristol, where I finished an M.Phil in Modern History. I worked as a writer and editor for an independent publishing company, before joining Oxford University Press as an Associate Marketing Manager in the digital team. After joining the Society of Antiquaries as their Communications Manager, I now work on my own freelance projects. I particularly specialise in blog writing, proof-reading and bid-writing for cultural and charitable enterprises.
