    ⭐️ 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.

    I can help you make your book or article the best it can be! I am an experienced editor who works with writers to help them improve their work, from early drafts to preparing a manuscript for submission to a publisher. I am a kind, empathic and passionate person and get a kick out of seeing my clients' books go into the world. I am a published author (two poetry collections and a non-fiction memoir) and also teach creative writing at a New Zealand university. I do everything from manuscript assessment to proofreading and line editing. I've edited non-fiction books, novels, poetry collections, magazine articles, PhDs and corporate copy. I can work with what your project requires, but this is my usual process: – We agree on a time period for the job and an hourly rate. – You send me the manuscript as a Word file. I do the editing! – I send back your manuscript with tracked changes throughout the text for you to approve, and any comments or questions I might have. – We have a one hour zoom call where you can talk through the edit and ask questions. – You can send follow up questions about the feedback when you're revising. Because all projects are different, I am happy to edit a short sample of your work so you to see what the editing looks like. You can find out more about me at: sarahjanebarnett.net Let's make some beautiful and inspiring books together! TESTIMONIALS “I was thrilled when I was told that Sarah would be the editor of my second book. I have a deep respect for her as a writer and a champion of poetry so I knew I would be in safe hands. Sarah’s editorial approach and suggestions were very thoughtful and provided a much-needed fresh point of view. I found her questions and comments extremely useful, tackling everything from the small details to the bigger picture.” – Chris Tse, New Zealand Poet Laureate “I chose Sarah to edit my second collection because I admire her skill and style as a writer, and she has an excellent reputation as an editor. The feedback she gave helped my manuscript snap into a clearer shape with few actual changes. I felt Sarah met the work where it was at, rather than imposing form or style ideas, helping me make it the best version of itself, rather than watered down or homogenised version. Sarah’s editing input and communication during the process, was professional, kind, and generous – I felt seen both as a writer and a person. It was a privilege to work with her and I hope I get to again soon.” – Simone Kaho, author of Heal “Sarah’s assistance in reviewing and improving my current work-in-progress has been invaluable. I immediately felt she connected with my writing and understood my intentions. She asked insightful questions and offered suggestions on ways to get around issues within the text. I’m so pleased to have found Sarah’s expertise and support, and I will definitely seek her out again for future projects.” – Louise Wallace, author of Ash

I love working with authors, publishers, and business owners to get projects into the best possible shape for publication, whether it's through traditional print publishing, self-publishing, or web-based media. ‘Sophie is a great editor, with a fantastic eye for errors and a great sense of how a text can be improved. She’s very thorough and shows great judgement when editing.’ —Simon Minto, Senior Editor at Huia Publishers Services Copy editing: I comb through your manuscript at the sentence level to polish the language and style. I also weed out embarrassing consistency errors and suggest minor rewrites to improve clarity. Proofreading: I provide the final quality control check for your novel or non-fiction project just before publication. This is especially important for indie authors self-publishing their work. Developmental editing: I collaborate with you in the early stages of your project to guide its structure and cohesion, assist with rewrites, and provide ongoing support as you complete the manuscript. Writing: I develop existing content or work with you to craft your message. I have experience ghostwriting blogs, creating engaging website content, and writing marketing copy for print books.
