Hire the Best Editors
in New Zealand

I am a writer / copy-editor / proofreader with a background in professional engineering, a talent for written communication, and a desire to help others write well. The versatility of my editing skills is demonstrated by the fact that I have edited over 120 academic documents, 28 book manuscripts (art and cultural history books, biographies, memoirs, a book on economics, and two novels) for Unicorn Publishing Group (UK), 90+ essays for Quillette, and I provide ongoing editing services to industry newsletters in both the UK and USA. If you need a whitepaper or case study written, I am an avid researcher, an inveterate fact-checker, and an accomplished report writer. If you need blog articles, I can do those, too. If you know what you want to say, but not quite how to say it, let me show you.

I'm a keen and eager video editor, both short form and long form! Keen to build long term working relationships but more than happy to help you with a quick project if you're stuck or needing a hand! I have ran my own travel content pages (shooting, editing and posting) and in my freelancing I have edited for a range of different niches: UGC, Talking Head, Lifestyle content and also travel content. Not set on something in the first draft I send you? Or you want to see some different versions to make a decision? TELL ME! I do not limit myself to 1 or 2 revisions like other editors, I approach edits like they are my videos I am posting to my own followers - I am only happy to sign off on an edit when both you and I are fully satisfied. Open to discussions and to bounce ideas around before jumping into something together. Ok that's enough rambling from me, bye bye! I WILL NOT WORK WITH AI PRODUCED CONTENT - Please help support creators and artists by working with them rather than against them.

An American author based in New Zealand, I ghostwrite memoir and narrative nonfiction for international clients with ideas that need shaping into compelling books. My work has been published by Penguin Random House and Simon & Schuster; one project was adapted into a Netflix series. I’ve worked with clients ranging from scientists and entrepreneurs to first-time authors, building their ideas into book-length manuscripts that hold a reader’s attention. The process is collaborative and structured: a series of interviews, followed by drafting, shaping, and revision. Clients retain full editorial control throughout, while I focus on making the writing clear, readable, and commercially viable.

I am a Visual Post-Production Specialist with 20 years of experience in video editing, colour grading, and cinematic story-driven content creation. I work with raw footage and imagery, shaping it into polished, professional video for social media, commercial use, and client delivery. I edit short-form content as well as longer-form promotional work for tourism, business, and branded campaigns. I excel at crafting impactful stories through carefully selected dialogue snippets. I prioritise clarity, consistency, and visual quality, turning unstructured material into finished, publication-ready content. Every project receives the time and attention required to achieve a high standard. The best results come from working with clients who share these values.

With almost a decade of professional experience behind the lens, I bring both technical expertise and creative intuition to every project. Over the past 10 years, I’ve completed 18 photography courses covering shooting techniques, composition, lighting, and advanced editing — with hands-on experience across portrait, landscape, product, and food photography and food styling. My approach combines strong visual storytelling with a deep understanding of light, detail, and mood. Whether capturing people, places, or products, I focus on creating images that feel intentional, polished, and authentic — not just visually appealing, but purposeful. I also have a passion for cooking and can offer this to go with lifestyle product photography if your product is food related or if recipe photography is required remotely. All the food photos I have displayed, I have made myself. Through all the many photo sessions I have done from Family photos, food and products, landscapes and studio one common factor is editing. Everything I do I edit, and I have developed my very own style that I like to call ' Bold Natural' using Adobe lightroom and Photoshop. Editing is my most enjoyed part, bringing the whole vision to life and giving it the finishing touch and making magic from not much. So, it is also my greatest joy to offer edit only jobs as well as shooting and editing. My rate reflects over 10 years of experience and a fully custom editing workflow, where every image is individually hand-edited for color, light, and consistency — never batch presets.
