I help businesses with their marketing communications, writing engaging, spirited copy or turning complex, awkward, and AI-generated content into clear, credible, and genuinely human writing. For more than 25 years, I have edited and produced content for professional audiences across technology, healthcare, compliance, business, finance, news and specialist publishing. I can help with: • Editing AI-generated content so it sounds natural and professionally written • Making technical and complex subjects easier to understand • Editing reports, white papers and research content • Improving structure, clarity, flow and readability • Fact-checking and identifying unsupported or questionable claims • Editing newsletters and improving content selection and headlines • Reviewing thought leadership and executive content • Providing a senior editorial perspective on your content and editorial processes I don't simply correct grammar. I look at whether the content is actually working: Is the argument clear? Does the structure make sense? Does it sound like a real person wrote it? Is the tone appropriate for the audience? Is the content engaging enough to hold attention? Are there unnecessary repetitions, generic phrases or AI-style formulations? Does the writing establish credibility? Some relevant results and experience: • Increased newsletter open rates from 16–18% to 36–41% through editorial restructuring, audience-focused content selection and improved headline strategy. • Served as a Senior Domain Expert and Occupational Reviewer on AI-model evaluation projects for Mercor Solutions, San Francisco. • Top 1% of certified domain experts (journalism--reporting, writing and editing) at Micro1. • Founded and led a specialist publishing company, publishing a leading medical title and successfully selling its flagship publication. • Edited and produced newsletters, reports, features, white papers and thought leadership for professional audiences. • Winner of the Financial Times Publications Editorial Award. • Copy editor of the team shortlisted for writing the Sunday Times Sports Book of the Year. • Runner-up in the UK Corporate Publishing Awards as Editor for Best Staff Newspaper. I am particularly useful when you have important content that is technically accurate but needs a senior editor to make it clearer, more engaging and more human. If your content needs to sound less like AI and more like a knowledgeable professional wrote it, I can help.
