editing

If you have a draft text - for any type of written communication - that needs attention, let me edit it for you.

You may have worked on your story, report or brochure for a while now and just can't get the wording right. Sometimes you need an uninvolved party - a professional editor - to cast an eye over it, read it from the point of view of the person for who the words are intended, and make changes to make it better, stronger, more effective.

I have been editing texts ever since I left school, and it has been a part of all my jobs since. I find copy editing very rewarding - to make clients happy by returning a piece of text that has obviously improved.

I'll knead your existing copy to get a message across better, improve structure and grammar, remove duplication and tighten things up or expand on parts to explain things better - or even just to fit a certain word count.

proofreading

Need that last-minute peace of mind that you're good to go to print? Let me proofread your copy.

A natural proofreader, I easily pick up any typos and spelling or grammatical errors, inconsistencies, duplications and ambiguities.

I pride myself in being very accurate and having a good eye for detail.

Let me look at your copy and make the necessary corrections now, before you have your material printed.

That way, you save yourself any embarrassment of having your readers or customers pointing out errors to you - and you don't have to consider doing a costly reprint!

Depending on your requirements, I can also do a combination of proofreading and editing. Just contact me to discuss your project.
