Hey – I’m Alice.
I’m a conversion copywriter, content writer, editor and messaging strategist with 15 years' experience in multiple sectors including B2B, ecommerce, SaaS, non-profit and travel.
If you need increased conversions, a stronger brand voice, and copy that makes you feel good about your business, I can help.
This could include:
✅ Auditing, editing and proofreading your existing copy to improve grammar and flow, as well as your conversion rate.
✅ Editing and rewriting AI-drafted or translated copy that you feel is 'OK'. but isn't yet good enough to share. I can polish and restructure so that it performs well.
✅ Email copy and strategy (including cold email copy). I have a track record of planning and writing highly effective email campaigns.
✅ Website and landing page copy, including wireframing.
✅ Blogs, articles and social media copy - both long and short form.
✅ Ad and advertorial copy, including coming up with new creative concepts, hooks and angles.
✅ Messaging strategy and brand voice work. If you need to know what to say, or how to create a distinctive voice that actually sells, I'll provide the strategic direction you need.
I have a flexible process that allows me to meet you where you are. This can mean a full project, including voice-of-customer research and data analysis. But I'm always open to quick, simple jobs too - this can be the ideal way to test out working together, and some of my longest-term contracts have come from jobs like these.
Projects I've worked on include:
✅ Acting as the brand copywriter at Virgin Atlantic, writing internal and customer-facing sales copy to a tight brand voice.
✅ Developing all the website, product and email copy for a new ecommerce brand, and helping them launch and grow quickly over a period of 3 years.
✅ Working on B2B lead gen emails for a large agency, where I was consistently their top writer across every metric (including lead rate) over a 2 year period.
My next project...yours? Tell me about it and we'll see :-)

With a Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Linguistics, M.A. in English, and 20+ years of experience as a professor, writer, editor, and researcher, I offer professional skills and knowledge in editing, writing, teaching, and consultation regarding linguistics, literature, English grammar, semantics, and computational linguistics. I have taught university courses in all of these subject areas for years, most recently, and mostly, at Tulane University.
I am also interested and educated in cognitive science, philosophy of the mind, and self-development. I am a certified tai chi / qi gong instructor and I have written dozens of articles about meditation, neurofeedback, hypnosis, and other related topics.
My "interdisciplinary" Ph.D. is interdisciplinary between cognitive, anthropological, and philosophical linguistics. For the last few years I have worked most in computational linguistics, natural language processing, and AI-training by RLHF.

Whether you're just beginning to perform research or polishing your final draft, I'm confident in my ability to meaningfully contribute to your success. My own research has been published in peer-reviewed journals and I have experience assisting countless academics in getting their work to press. Effective scientific communication can be hard to get perfect, but together we'll make sure your research has the greatest impact possible.
Personally, I am an anthropologist with significant qualitative research experience in both academia and industry. While the social sciences will always hold a soft spot in my heart, I also have plenty of experience working with clients from a wide range of disciplines, including medicine, business, and the lab sciences. In my experience, "non-experts" often catch writing issues that those within a discipline can overlook. The best way to improve readability, clarity, and the strength of an argument is to have a fresh set of eyes take a look.
Not an academic? No worries! I'm also happy to lend a helping hand to other forms of writing, from college essays to website content. While my own interests may leave me stuck in an ivory tower forever, the writing and research skills I've developed along the way are applicable to endless fields and topics. I have a particularly strong background in editing application essays, ranging from prospective university students to medical school applicants.

My Father taught me - you either do your best, or leave it be!! Second best is not part of who I am and if I don't do better than best, I walk away - I live and fall by that motto!! To date I have not walked away from any challenge, and I don't plan to either.
I have been taught well since starting my (several) careers in 1996 and I have many years of experience in writing to a high standard, I love interacting with people and I also have a very keen eye for detail.
I achieved a distinction at High School (1995) and I can converse very well in English, albeit my second language.
I presented a Corporate Communications Course with great success for a few years and enjoyed it very much!! I love teaching and seeing people grow! People are my passion and I would love to be of service to my clients as an online English Teacher or Proofreader.
I am currently providing my services as a freelance Proofreader and co-author to friends and contacts of mine.
You have tried the rest, now work with the best!!

Writing isn't easy. And writing a book can feel like climbing a mountain — in a whiteout. But you don't have to write your book completely on your own and dance in the ring with your self-doubt. You also don't have to surrender to the pull of an LLM. (It turns out they actually make writing harder.)
As a book, ebook, and content editor with 15 years of experience, I can help you find the subtle issues that may be holding your manuscript back. I’ll evaluate your current draft and work with you to boost your confidence, help you see the potential in your work, and help make the writing process smoother. I can also partner with you when needed to help you get your book manuscript to the finish line if you're short on time — or just stuck.
PLEASE NOTE: I do not use AI or editing software of any kind in my editing work. My approach relies on my experience and skill, and is 100% human 🙂
I CAN HELP YOU WITH THINGS LIKE:
- Concept and content development
- Finding a new path for your work when something's not working
- Helping you find — and maintain — your authentic voice
- Repairing or improving your current book manuscript's structure
- Improving readability, tone, and pacing
- Improving clarity and flow
- Addressing clichés and inconsistencies
- Ensuring your manuscript is right for your ideal audience
- Advice, support, and resources when needed
- Getting unstuck
- Staying committed
- Staying on schedule
Plus, I can fully copy edit and proofread your manuscript when your final draft is ready!
A HIGH-LEVEL OVERVIEW OF WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
The process varies depending on the current status of your book project and your schedule, but at minimum, you can expect:
- Up to two check-ins per week (either by email/messaging or video call
- Up to two online collabs per week, as needed, where you can ask questions, bounce off ideas, or get 1:1 help with sticking points as you write
YOUR SOURCE FOR KIND, HONEST GUIDANCE
My primary goals are to help you see what’s possible in your work, and to help you make your book manuscript the best it can be.
I recognize and respect intention. I will make sure your book or ebook is something you can truly be proud of.
WE'RE A GOOD MATCH IF:
- You are open to thoughtful, honest feedback
- You are open to new ways of approaching your writing
- You are open to seeing your work from a variety of angles or perspectives
- You fully embrace editing as a key part of making your book great.
I guarantee that your final draft will have the same level of quality as books published at traditional publishing houses. It will be developed keeping your goals in mind. It will also be authentic, clear, and virtually free of grammatical errors and typos.
👉 PlEASE NOTE: Only book manuscripts in the following categories will be accepted: Sales and Marketing (lead magnets for small businesses), General Nonfiction, Memoir, Literary Fiction, Upmarket Fiction
Ready to chat? I'd love to help you get your book done!

—Transcriber & Captions/Subtitles Specialist
I've been transcribing/subtitling/captioning audio/video content for over 9 years now. My experience includes transcribing workshops, courtroom hearings, depositions, 1:1 interviews, focus group sessions, podcasts, earnings conference calls and more.
I also possess extensive experience when it comes to working with online AI-powered transcription tools like Otter, Descript, Sonix, Whisper, et cetera. If you're someone who's looking for help when it comes to polishing AI-generated transcripts, feel free to hit me up.
Furthermore, the experience I've gained transcribing/subtitling/captioning content all these years has trained my ears exceptionally well to understand different dialects and accents, and therefore, I'm also able to distinguish between different voices heard in content that's just audio.
Being a natural writer makes my work all the more precise as you won't find any errors in the work that I will turnaround.
And last but not the least, let's be honest: Does how fast one types matter while transcribing? Yes, to some extent it does. But what really matters is how well one is able to listen and understand and distinguish what's being spoken. Keying in words without understanding a word that's being dictated is one thing, but for a diligent worker, client satisfaction is paramount and I for one ensure that whatever I transcribe is of the highest quality and standards.
—Editor & Content QC Specialist
Prior to joining Upwork, I used to freelance as a writer/editor/proofreader for various local English dailies, gaining extensive experience in the realm of editing. I'm familiar with the ins and outs of this domain and specialize in it. People often tend to confuse "editing" with "proofreading" or vice versa, even though both are quite different and have their own challenges.
I'm also experienced at polishing and proofreading AI/machine-generated transcripts and any written text produced by AI such as ChatGPT, Claude, Jasper, etc. I can also refine human-produced content.
Furthermore, I have an eagle's eye when it comes to auditing content. For instance, I have helped some of my clients audit their content libraries by following guidelines and flagging any violations.
Using my craft, I would love to help YOU out with YOUR content!
—AI Solutions & Automations Specialist
My 9+ years in transcription, QC and content editing gave me an insider's view of broken workflows and inefficiencies across multiple industries. That experience is now the foundation of a new skill set: building AI powered automation tools that solve real problems.
Using vibe coding and AI assisted development tools, I build custom solutions including workflow automation systems, AI powered web applications, content optimization pipelines, voice AI agents and Progressive Web Apps. I'm transparent about my approach and focused on delivering things that actually work.
If you have a problem that needs an intelligent automated solution, let's talk.
