Most writing problems aren't really writing problems, they're strategy problems. I help you find the stronger, more incisive version of what you're trying to say, whether that's a manuscript, a business report, or SEO/GEO/AEO content that needs to rank and read well.
What I do: Developmental, line editing, copy editing, and proofreading for SEO-driven content, business writing, academic writing, and non-fiction book manuscripts. I am an expert in both AP Style and Chicago Manual of Style.
Great writing comes down to two things: enough depth and specificity to be convincing, and enough clarity that any reader can follow the train of thought. I work on both structural issues and sentence-level polish, so you're not hiring separate people for each pass.
Here's a sense of who trusts me with their content:
- Editor in chief, print edition: TK Magazine
- Intergrowth
- The Richmond Forum
- Big Impact Books
- ACT Associates LLC
- Trade publications for the International Brotherhood of Magicians, Clowns of America International, and the Circus Fans Association of America
“Working with [Lauren] has been amazing; she has a rare talent with words, intuitively understanding where changes might be beneficial and where to keep ideas as they are. On a personal level, Lauren is very easy to connect with. Her caring and warm attitude made a big difference when I felt frustrated with my text or sought ways to improve it. Always professional, always supportive, and quick to respond, this has been a fantastic collaboration.” — 5-star Upwork review
I work closely with clients at every stage of the editorial process, from rough first draft to final proofread. Send me a sample of your work or a project description and I'll give you an honest read on whether I'm the right fit for your project.

Stop sounding like a robot.
AI-generated text won't get you the job, the scholarship, or the university place. Let's fix that.
I edit documents where writing decides the outcome: scholarship applications, personal statements, and cover letters for competitive roles.
My process is straightforward. I restructure your narrative, cut the generic rubbish, and sharpen what makes your story specific and unique. In short, I bring the human back.
LLMs generate and proofread better than I can. But their output is often bland, boring, and totally lifeless. In high-stakes situations, using AI text for your final draft risks a stock rejection and a waste of your time and effort.
I conduct a structural edit that makes sure a panel or hiring manager reads a clear, credible case for you, not a version that sounds like everyone else. I'll work with you to bring out your voice and originality, and show why you're the ideal candidate. I know my approach works as I recently used it to help an applicant win a competitive graduate scholarship at a UK university.
My background: PhD in Psychology, postdoctoral researcher at the University of Cambridge, and five years working as an academic editor on high-stakes writing (theses, manuscripts, grants) where clarity and precision were essential.
If you've got a draft (AI-assisted, self-written, rough notes, doesn't matter), get in touch so we can turn it into the strongest, most impactful version it can be.

I’m an Australian editor with a global client base (I work in UK and US English). I have worked with indie authors who are top sellers on Amazon and some traditionally published authors.
I love guiding new authors, but I also work with more established authors.
- 15+ years working for non-fiction publishing houses in Sydney and London in-house and freelance
- 10 years line/copy editing and developmental editing on many, many fiction titles. I have samples of my work in the following:
Fiction: literary, genre: comic, thrillers, fantasy (including UF, YA, NA), sci-fi, dark romance, paranormal, time travel, historical
Non-fiction: business, self-help, memoirs, academic, travel
I love helping authors perfect their voice and shape their stories.
I have a Law degree, an Arts degree and a Diploma in editing. I have published my own short stories.
If you work with me you will get a highly skilled, incredibly reliable, efficient (reasonable turnaround times) editor who really cares about your manuscript. I take on projects I am passionate about and I feel that passion shines through in my work.
