We all have a story to tell—I help people tell theirs. As editor and proofreader, I happily dive into the details, carefully picking through paragraphs—leaving no term unturned—to create polished, compelling content that reflects the author's unique voice and vision. Writing should be accessible and easy to read. With over 20 years of experience spanning proofreading, copy editing, journalism, graphic design, web design, and desktop publishing, I bring a creative and versatile approach to every project. From big-picture developmental editing to meticulous proofreading, my goal is always the same: to ensure top-notch quality while respecting the author’s creativity throughout the process. Strong client relationships are at the heart of my work. I listen closely, communicate clearly, and collaborate thoughtfully to deliver content that meets my clients’ needs and exceeds their expectations. Your content deserves to shine in a competitive market. Let's talk!

⭐️ Hi, I'm Abbey – Welcome to my profile! ⭐️ I am a copywriter, editor, and former journalist with extensive experience working in the media and communications industry in New Zealand and abroad (I recently returned from living and freelancing in Ireland and across wider Europe). After a significant stint as a News Journalist and then a Senior Copywriter at a marketing firm, I have been working as a "floating" freelancer for several years now, writing copy for a myriad of mediums across an eclectic range of industries. As a writer, it's a natural skill to know a little bit about a lot of things, so where my knowledge is lacking, my research skills certainly make up for it! Here is just some of the content I have covered: ✍🏼 Blogs and Articles ✍🏼 Website and E-Commerce Copy ✍🏼 Product Descriptions ✍🏼 Social Media Copy ✍🏼 White Papers and Case Studies ✍🏼 Technical Writing ✍🏼 Email Campaigns ✍🏼 Newsletter Copy ✍🏼 General Advertising and Collateral I utilise my investigative skills, storytelling ability, and experience with SEO writing to generate original (non-AI-generated), well-researched content for every project that comes across my desk. Each piece of content I create is laser-focused on being informative, highly engaging, and often structured for lead generation. My approach to working with my clients is all about getting to the root of the message they want to get across to their audience. People connect with stories, things that target their pain points, and offers that solve their problems. I work closely with my clients to determine what those messages are and present them in a compelling way that hooks their audience and keeps them coming back for more. I write for clients all over the world, the majority of which have been retainer or return clients for an extended period of time. I have also had the pleasure of ghostwriting for clients who contribute to the likes of Forbes, Entrepreneur, and Fast Company. Some of the industries I have covered: 💡Print & Digital News Journalism 💡Print & Online Magazines 💡Startups/Small Businesses 💡Finance and Investing 💡Leadership and Development 💡Technology, Additive Manufacturing & Engineering 💡Beauty, Skincare, and Health and Fitness 💡Food, Wine & Fashion 💡Education 💡Marketing Agencies 💡Trades and Home Services 💡Transport, Petroleum, and Concrete 💡Snowboarding, Skiing and Outdoor Sports If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! I look forward to hearing from you and hope we can work together to grow your business.
