+ Knowledge of SEO tools like Ahrefs and graphic design tools like Canva + Experience in using CMS platforms like WordPress + 5 years of experience in the local digital markets, having worked as a writer, publisher, and editor Finnish is a complex and deep language with often a single word having multiple different meanings. Ask any Finnish person, and they will tell you just how helpless 'Google-translate' is with anything outside a basic phrase, and Chat GPT doesn't really understand anything about reader engagement. Being one of the most difficult languages globally, Finnish can be a very flexible, persuasive, and powerful tool, but only if you know how to use it correctly and understand the national target audience and cultural norms. As a native speaker with a life-long passion for writing, I constantly try to widen my vocabulary to best express myself. I am not in the writing space for a quick money grab: I'm interested in developing my skills and portfolio. This is reflected in the quality I provide: I genuinely care about my output, do not run away from feedback, and offer free revisions until my client is happy. One way I can combine this passion with work is by providing content writing and copywriting services. Growing up in the still early days of the internet and witnessing the consequential rise of digital entrepreneurship, English as a means of navigating the vast newfound openly available information has always been crucial for me to understand thoroughly. I have traveled around the world quite a bit, which has solidified my English. Furthermore, I will happily showcase my English (or Finnish)-proficiency through a video call, if requested. My rates are negotiable.

Language has always felt a little like magic to me — the quiet kind that builds entire worlds from ink, turns complicated ideas into understanding, and makes readers care deeply about people who exist only on a page. I’m Jodie Gray — editor, ghostwriter, and creator of Gray Matter Edits: The Writer’s Spellbook — and my work is built around one belief: the strongest editing doesn’t replace a writer’s voice. It helps that voice come through more clearly. Words are powerful, but they can also be unruly. Sometimes a story has all the right pieces but they haven’t quite fallen into place. Sometimes the emotion is there, but the sentences are getting in its way. Sometimes a research paper contains excellent ideas that deserve to be communicated with greater clarity and precision. That’s where I come in. ✨ ENCHANTMENTS — Editing & Proofreading For fiction writers, I offer: • Beta reading and manuscript evaluation • Developmental editing • Line editing • Copyediting • Proofreading Depending on the stage of your manuscript, I can help strengthen plot, pacing, structure, character development, dialogue, emotional impact, clarity, rhythm, grammar, consistency, and the countless small details that shape a reader’s experience. My aim is never to make your writing sound like mine. I want it to sound like you — only clearer, stronger, and more confident. As both a writer and an editor, I approach fiction from two directions at once: the creative instinct to understand what a story is trying to become, and the editorial eye to see what may be preventing it from getting there. A comma can realign meaning. A reordered sentence can transform rhythm. A developmental observation can reveal why a scene that looks perfectly fine on paper somehow isn’t landing emotionally. Editing is rarely about changing everything. Often, it’s about finding the precise changes that allow the existing magic to work. ✨ CONJURATIONS — Writing & Story Development Sometimes the words aren’t on the page yet. I also offer fiction ghostwriting and creative development for writers who have an idea, outline, character concept, or half-built world and need help transforming it into something complete. My particular strengths are character-driven storytelling, natural dialogue, emotional depth, relationships, worldbuilding, and maintaining a consistent narrative voice. You might arrive with a detailed chapter-by-chapter outline ready to become a manuscript, or with nothing more than characters who refuse to leave you alone and the beginnings of a story around them. Either way, we build from your vision. ✨ ACADEMIC EDITING Academic writing has its own kind of magic: taking specialised, complex research and shaping it into something another person can clearly understand, evaluate, and build upon. I edit and proofread: • Research articles • Theses and dissertations • Academic manuscripts • Other scholarly and technical writing My academic editing focuses on clarity, grammar, syntax, consistency, academic tone, readability, and language refinement while preserving the meaning and technical accuracy of your work. Clear academic language doesn’t simplify good research. It gives good research the best possible chance to be understood. ✨ HOW I WORK Originally from England and now based in Finland, I have an academic background in English Literature and Creative Writing and experience working with fiction manuscripts, academic research, and creative projects across genres. Every project receives careful, individual attention. You can expect: • Thoughtful editing rather than mechanical correction • Clear communication throughout the project • Respect for your individual voice and intentions • Constructive comments and queries where something needs your judgement • Meticulous attention to grammar, consistency, style, and detail • Honest feedback — including telling you when something already works and should be left alone I believe editing should be collaborative. You know your story, research, and intentions better than anyone; my role is to bring an experienced outside perspective and help you see what can be sharpened, strengthened, clarified, or allowed to shine. Whether you’re building a fictional world from scratch, wrestling a first draft into shape, polishing a finished novel, or preparing research for publication, I’ll treat your work with the same respect I would want someone to give my own. If you’re looking for an editor who will respect what makes your writing yours while helping it become the strongest version of itself, send me a message and tell me what you’re working on. We’ll figure out which spell it needs.

What do 3 million words mean? Actually, nothing if you're not good enough at writing those words. But I have done it and excelled at it, writing and creating content I mean. That's right, I am a public relations and communications specialist, a professional journalist and actually a voice actor as well. So what have I done so far during my career? I have led many different magazines as a Managing Editor and worked for professional sports clubs. I have educated my team, built social media strategies, developed "the voice" for those magazines, and yes, written about 3 million words. I know what works and what doesn't work contentwise when it comes to attracting people. And even though I am writing this summary in a relaxed manner, I can definitely produce more serious content when needed. Now let's talk a minute about sports because that's my playing field. I have played football, ice hockey, and floorball since I was a kid. Many other sports as well; you name it, I've played it. I have been a coach for a semi-pro team and a GM as well. I am a sports maniac who lives and breathes sports. And those million words I already mentioned a couple of times before - well, 90 % have been about sports. The other 10 % has been about politics and society. And don't be fooled by the fact that I am Finnish: I have no problems at all producing content in English as well - as you've already probably noticed. As a matter of fact, I have had my articles published by Fox Sports, which is kind of a big media company. Now, I want to end this introduction with a really famous sports quote, because that's how the world works in my opinion: "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee." -Muhammad Ali
