Everyone has a story, so everyone needs an editor. My most meaningful work is in the shaping of words, finessing every project into its most fully realized form. I'm a writer's editor, having worked for newspapers, magazines, and the web for 20 years. You will almost always find me with a book or pen in my hand, if I'm not at my desk editing a manuscript or assignment. A bachelor's in English and master's in writing form the bedrock of my lifelong study of literature in all its forms. If you need an editor or proofreader, odds are I am more than qualified (and very eager to get started). I pride myself on keeping a diverse pool of clients, with projects that range from financial materials for American Advisors Group to line edits for authors like Christopher Murphy (The Other Side of the Mirror, Where the Boys Are). Name it, and I've edited it: commercial pieces, flash fiction, website ads, product packaging, email campaigns, slideshows, poems, recipes, blogs, business newsletters, short stories, children's books, travel guides, exposés, memoirs, screenplays, novellas, and so much more in just about every industry and genre. Empathy is an underestimated force of nature that informs my own writing, along with my all-in process as an editor and proofreader. My first priority is learning from my clients what kind of editor they need and how I can be the most successful fit for the work ahead. Is there a resume in need of structure? A novel in need of a thorough and careful eye? Perhaps the company needs an editor to freshen up the website. Whatever the project, I will gladly make room for it in my calendar. It is always a thrill and honor to showcase my skills.

Your writing is a reflection of your image. To make a good impression, it must be free of grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors. I am a professional proofreader, copy editor, and self-proclaimed word nerd who will spot mistakes you may have missed and ensure your content adheres to your style or brand guidelines, so your writing is the best it can be. I have experience proofreading traditional and eBook manuscripts, AI-generated content, podcast transcripts, essays, applications, business plans, marketing materials, blog posts, product packaging, slide decks, PowerPoint presentations, magazine content, and websites.

I am a qualified full-time proofreader and copy editor. I have also taught English as a foreign language, so I have an excellent command of the English language, including grammar and punctuation. I have edited, developmental edited and proofread a number of fiction and non-fiction books, and I have worked as a proofreader for a magazine. I have an excellent eye for detail and can work in UK, AUS, or US English. I can also translate from Spanish, French or Italian to English. I have written three of my own non-fiction books, and have ghostwritten several other published books. I am professional, efficient, and excellent at my job. I would love to work with you and you will be really happy you hired me!

I offer expert editing and proofreading services. I hold two First Class M.A. degrees and a B.A. with Honours, as well as a 2018-19 Fellowship with the International Specialised Skills Institute, Australia. Whether your written work encompasses academic articles, university coursework, novels, blogs, website content, process documentation or even social media posts, resumes or cover letters, my wealth of professional experience allows me to ensure your final written product is engaging, polished, and above all, grammatically correct! I focus specifically on grammar, style, structure and clarity, and can provide services encompassing copy-editing, formatting, line-editing, proofreading or developmental editing (usually a combination thereof). My approach is tailored to your preferences, and as a cheerful, professional, highly collaborative editor/proofreader I ensure that your unique voice is maintained throughout the process and that your work speaks to and influences your targeted audience. In real life I am a highly specialised Book & Paper Conservator working for Cambridge University, where I undertake high-level research, conserve cultural materials and work to make Library collections accessible to all. I research, write and edit content for every type of publication imaginable - from instagram captions, public blogs and process documentation through to academic journals, conference presentations and research proposals. In a past professional life I worked in HR/Recruitment for both a Big 4 financial company and a well-known global recruitment consultancy. My experience in these areas allows my editing and proofreading skills to complement my professional experience in assessing recruitment applications, undertaking interviews and tailoring recruitment advertisements, and I welcome resume and cover letter projects!

I am an avid reader, who is always catching typos, or grammatical errors. I want to help authors get their best works published.
