For the past seven years, I've worked with researchers, academics, healthcare professionals, businesses, government organisations, startups, and authors to produce high-quality written content. My experience includes editing and proofreading journal manuscripts, dissertations, theses, systematic reviews, literature reviews, grant applications, medical device documentation, regulatory documents, capability statements, government tenders, business proposals, technical reports, books, KDP manuscripts, nonfiction publications, website content, blog articles, SEO content, white papers, policy documents, training materials, and professional correspondence.
As a published author in peer-reviewed journals and a PhD researcher in Medical Sciences, I understand the level of accuracy, clarity, and attention to detail expected in academic, scientific, and medical writing. I have experience working with medical literature, clinical research documents, medical device submissions, scientific manuscripts, healthcare content, genetics, public health, and evidence-based research, while also editing commercial and business documents where readability and professionalism are equally important.
My editing goes beyond correcting grammar and punctuation. I improve structure, strengthen flow, refine language, eliminate inconsistencies, fact-check where appropriate, format references, and ensure every document communicates its message effectively while preserving your voice. I work confidently with APA, MLA, Harvard, Vancouver, and Chicago referencing styles, as well as both British and American English.
Whether your project involves academic editing, medical writing, scientific research, book editing, Amazon KDP publishing, developmental editing, copy editing, proofreading, formatting, or publication preparation, my goal is to deliver work that is clear, accurate, polished, and ready for submission, publication, or presentation.
In addition to editing and proofreading, I can assist with Microsoft Word formatting, tracked changes, reference management, tables and figures, document layout, Canva designs, Adobe Acrobat PDF editing, presentation formatting, and publication-ready files for journals, conferences, and Amazon KDP. I pride myself on responsive communication, fast turnaround times, and consistently delivering work that exceeds expectations.
If you're looking for someone who can confidently handle everything from a single-page business proposal to a 100,000-word manuscript or a complex medical research project, I'd love to discuss how I can help.
Looking forward to working with you.
Best,
Arshi

If your business only works because certain people make it work…
you don’t have a system yet.
That’s where I come in.
I’m Amanda, Founder of Imagine8. I help founders and leadership teams turn how their business actually operates into structured systems their teams can run without constant input, translation, or guesswork.
What I Do
I don’t just write SOPs.
I design the operational system behind your business.
The kind that:
removes reliance on key people
creates consistency across teams and locations
improves onboarding and performance
and allows the business to scale, franchise, or run without you
Think of it as building your Business Google.
A searchable system where your team can find exactly how things are done and execute with clarity.
What We Build
End-to-end operational systems
SOP and workflow frameworks that actually get used
Business and department-level playbooks
Knowledge hubs and internal “source of truth” systems
Role-based documentation and ownership structures
Day 1–90 onboarding and training pathways
Trainual, TalentLMS, and LMS platform builds
Internal rollout and adoption strategies
Who This Is For
We work with growing businesses, franchises, SaaS teams, and L&D leaders who are done with:
tribal knowledge
bottlenecks
inconsistent performance
rebuilding processes every time someone leaves
Why Clients Choose Imagine8
Because this isn’t documentation.
It’s infrastructure.
We build systems, not documents
We design for real-world use, not theory
We embed clarity, ownership, and accountability
We ensure your team actually uses what we build
We create systems that last, not ones that get ignored
Credentials
300+ clients supported
4,500+ learners trained
31+ industries
Certified Trainual Partner & Expert Administrator
The Outcome
A business that:
runs with clarity and consistency
onboards faster
performs better
scales without breaking
and doesn’t rely on one person holding everything together
Client Feedback
"We're now over halfway through the contract, and Amanda is all that and then some. Her communication is always clear and timely, and her skills are exactly what we were looking for. Amanda's knowledge of CSM and SaaS has been a huge asset to our team, and her friendly, approachable demeanour makes working with her a great experience. Her contributions have been invaluable to our success so far and we’re excited to continue working together moving forward."
– Amie L.
If this sounds familiar…
Your team is asking the same questions
Things are being done differently across people
You’re still the fallback for how things work
Then you don’t need more documents.
You need a system.
Let’s build one your team can actually run.
