As an experienced content writer, I have supplied over 2,750 articles for an English-language newspaper, where engaging, accurate and interesting content is essential.

I'm an Australian full service editor, writer, and certified proofreader with broad experience and high standards. I blend natural creativity with academic rigour. I offer you developmental editing and copy editing as well as final proofreading. From blogs to books—especially books, I am your secret sauce! I write for a growing subscriber network regularly on Substack (Sarah Newton-John) and for clients on topics that I care about. I am a member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (UK) where I participate in ongoing professional development. I will significantly raise the quality and impact of your writing. If you are using AI, I bring humanity to the content. I am (hopefully)—your new hire—and here, in a nutshell, are some more good reasons why: In an eclectic 30-year in-house career in Sydney and London, I held various roles in magazine, newspaper, and book publishing, settling in the medical sector, with editorial work a constant thread. I am a qualified librarian who worked in a newspaper library; then my career took a different direction. I have proofread dozens of medical textbooks for the global science publisher, Elsevier since 2008. Medical content is a constant and current theme in my career. I have experience writing news articles, blogs, social media posts, and newsletters. I copy edit books, two medical journals, reports, academic papers, and social media posts. I am familiar with SEO and have experience with WordPress, Yoast, SurferSEO, and Dibbly. I often humanize AI-generated text and do not utilize the technology in my creative output unless you ask me to. Let me know your brief, and I will roll up my sleeves! Warm regards, Sarah :)

Hello! I’m Sonia 😊 🌐 I’m a bilingual 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡-𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫, 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫, 𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐲 𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐫, and 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞-𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭 based in Madrid. I love helping clients communicate clearly and naturally in both languages, whether that means translating and localizing written content, polishing AI-generated text, or recording warm, professional voice-overs. With over 𝟑 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, I bring a genuine ear for rhythm, nuance, and what connects with an audience: ✍️ My 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 includes projects such as translating and proofreading TED Talks (including captions and subtitles), doing literary review and copy editing for Prismatext, proofreading 𝐰𝐞𝐛𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐬, creating marketing and 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐬, and adapting content for different audiences. I have worked on many projects that combine both translation and voice-over, from scripts and websites to promotional content, so I can handle the full flow from text to voice. 🗣️ My 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞-𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 spans a wide range of projects: narration and 𝐝𝐮𝐛𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐠 for films and documentaries, 𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐓𝐓𝐒 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 across scientific, technical, emotional, and corporate topics in both Spanish and English, voice acting with character performance, and 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐬 where I handled both translation and voice-over. I have also worked as an 𝐀𝐈 𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫, reviewing Spanish-language audio for pronunciation accuracy, vocal delivery, and quality standards. I work from my own professional home studio, so I can deliver clean, high-quality voice recordings with care and attention to detail. 🎓 I hold a BA in 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐦 and a Master’s in 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, which have shaped how I approach writing, communication, and audio craftsmanship. Because of my music production background, I can also create 𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐬 when needed. For example, 𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐨 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, sound bath experiences, or 𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨𝐬 that benefit from a combination of voice-over and music. There is a sample of this work in my portfolio. 🤝 I’d be happy to work with you to make sure your content sounds clear, natural, and exactly right for your audience.

I am a qualified full-time proofreader and copy editor. I have also taught English as a foreign language, so I have an excellent command of the English language, including grammar and punctuation.

I worked alongside Marguerite throughout the whole process, from conception and story selection, content development to line editing, and I’m proud of the compilation we’ve built. I've been successful in producing travel magazines for France Tourism, and have been commissioned to write newsletters, press releases, websites, reviews, and grant applications. I take pride in getting to know new subjects. I've taught English and writing for ten years, and am a versatile and conscientious collaborator. With my patchwork of experiences, I’ve evolved into a well-rounded problem solver, with a set of skills valuable to any project or team where one wears many hats. Having lived in different countries including Canada, Hungary, France, and now Spain, I have a cosmopolitan background and access to various points of views from outside the usual English-speaking realm. I'm comfortable working in four languages, so let's talk to see how we can work together. . ​
