I provide professional editing and writing services for manuscripts, business documents, and conversion-focused marketing content. My clients include authors, businesses, and agencies looking for accurate, thoughtful editing and writing that supports their objectives. I'm a professional editor and writer with a degree in English and American Literature and extensive experience working with authors, businesses, and marketing teams. Before moving into freelance editing, I held senior HR leadership roles across four continents, working with organizations ranging from start-ups and SMEs to multinational companies and government entities. That experience enables me to edit business documents with an understanding of how they are used in practice, and I balance clear communication with an awareness of operational realities. Editorial Services I help authors strengthen both fiction and non-fiction manuscripts through developmental editing, manuscript evaluations, beta reading, and editing of AI-assisted manuscripts. My focus is on identifying what will improve the reader's experience, strengthen the overall work, and help the manuscript achieve its purpose. Business Documents I review and edit employee handbooks, policies, training materials, reports, and other business documents, improving organization, tone, consistency and readability, while preserving the purpose and intent of the original document. With my HR background I understand how these documents are used in practice and how employees are likely to interpret them. Conversion Copy I write high-converting advertorials, bridge pages, VSL scripts, and other long-form marketing content designed to build trust, maintain reader engagement, and support conversion goals. I have particular experience writing in the health and wellness, financial services, beauty, fitness, and personal development sectors. Clients value my ability to work comfortably across very different types of content. I apply the same editorial discipline to every project: understanding the audience, recognizing the document's purpose, and producing writing that is clear, credible, and effective. If you're looking for an experienced editor who combines literary training, senior business experience, and a practical approach to improving written communication, I'd be delighted to discuss your project.

My passions are personal development, travel, and food, and I adore learning about new subjects. I'm here to support you and help make your content flow. I have a background in journalism and come with a rucksack full of skill-building projects as magazine and book editor, copywriter, translator, and designer. With nearly two decades of writing and editing experience, I'm adept at research and adapt easily to tone, style, and clientele. I tend to have good ideas about how to improve stories. I've worked on podcasts, business proposals, and online courses, and am currently playing around with my own literary project. I try to stay educated on the latest digital trends, but I'm one of those people who loves print. Most recently, I worked closely with Kelly Parker Palace on Take Your Mark, LEAD! 10 Ways to Lead Yourself and Others Like a Champion. Before that, I collaborated with Marguerite Richards on her eye-opening anthology of narrative non-fiction, The Ordinary Chaos of Being Human - Tales from Many Muslim Worlds, published by Penguin Random House SEA. 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. . ​
