MAKE YOUR WORDS MATTER
You’ve put the work in to create your content – now let’s perfect it.
I offer a ‘second-eye’ language service that goes beyond rooting out typos and grammatical glitches, helping you to make your point simply or stylishly, sans the slips-ups.
SERVICES
COPY EDITING
A grammar check with some sentence restructuring to sharpen your points. I’ll weed out repetition, jargon and ambiguity; look out for factual errors; check that the language style is consistent; and tweak a header or two.
DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING
More of a clean-up op on rough drafts. This includes rearranging paragraphs, assessing whether there is a logical flow of information, applying a language style and ensuring that the content is suitable for the intended readership.
PROOFREADING
The final stage of the editing process, which involves a close reading to catch anything that has slipped through the net: typos, problematic line breaks, formatting issues, pagination errors, design blips and more.
CONTENT WRITING
From engaging travel and lifestyle features and persuasive product descriptions to news stories for university websites, I can create cogent copy that keeps your style, tone and reader in mind.

ABOUT ME
I am a freelance editor who polishes and produces written content, ensuring that it meets a high standard, strikes the right chord and makes the required impression.
You’d be forgiven for not knowing much about my ilk. That’s because we quietly plug away behind the scenes as filters and fine-tuners, readying texts for publication, submission or circulation. Turns out, after 16 years of editing everything from news stories, hefty reports and internal comms for multiple universities to magazine content for international publications, and creating copy for a high-end homeware store, I still get a kick out of streamlining various forms of writing.
So if you need an annual report tightened and trimmed, a press release rewritten to grab the attention of a news editor, a research article reworked to appeal to a wider readership, a cookery book edited or a thesis proofread, just say the word.
