A bit about me

Who are you and what do you need?
​You might represent a business and need to produce well-written, robust documentation that showcases your professionalism and integrity. Maybe you are the 'proud parent' of a novel, memoir or children's book, and you need a bit of help to give your manuscript that unmistakable professional polish. Or, perhaps you are an international student, and you need to make sure that your written English does not detract from your academic content.
​
​Who am I and how can I help?
I am a professional, experienced and friendly proofreader and copy-editor. I trained with the Publishing Training Centre and am a member of the Society for Editors and Proofreaders (SfEP). When it comes to my craft, I am a proud generalist and I can help you whether you are a business, a student or an author. Check out the page dedicated to your field to see the services and benefits I provide for your needs.

For Businesses

I have worked in business for over ten years, and understand the importance of good documentation – robust, persuasive when it needs to be, and at all times showing the business in the best light.  You will find my service streamlined and professional and my prices competitive – and I never miss a deadline.

For Students & Academics

You are an expert in your field – and I am an expert in mine. That is, in the clarity of language, and in checking spelling, punctuation, grammar and consistency. Whether you are writing in your second language or are a native English speaker, your thesis or dissertation will benefit from my proofreading service.

 For Authors & Publishers

Maybe you plan to self-publish, or maybe you are going to submit your manuscript to literary agents and publishing houses. In both cases, it is absolutely vital that your manuscript is in top condition, ready to be enjoyed by the reading public or the busy acquisitions editor. A professional edit can help do just that.
