I'm Gerry Stewart. I started Grimalkin Press in Glasgow, Scotland in 2003 to help individuals and small arts groups to edit and publish their work at reasonable rates. The press has gone quiet since I moved to Finland in 2010, but I am still available for editing and proof-reading work.
I'm a poet, editor, creative writing tutor and jack of all literary trades. I have worked in the literary publishing and editing field since 1997, including four years at Chapman Publishing in Edinburgh.
I have experience editing a variety of projects: market research presentations, academic papers, translation work and poetry and non-fiction writing collections. I am a member of the Nordic Editors and Translators organisation (NEaT).
Let me help you polish your work, so it gets the most attention from your readers.

Proof-Reading and Editing - correcting grammar, syntax and typos, general linguistic mistakes.
I can also look at content and layout, where you might be unclear, missing information or need structural changes. I can make suggestions for stylistic changes to improve your writing, to make sure your point is coming across as effectively as possible.
I can also do typesetting and book design to PDF, but, unfortunately, I can no longer offer publishing services.
My own poetry collection published by Flambard Press, 2007.
Post-Holiday Blues
In Finland, I am available for poetry readings and creative writing tutoring for adults or children. I can run one-off sessions or extended classes on general creative writing, poetry, memoir writing and fiction/novel writing.
