Content writer, editor, and proofreader specialising in clear, engaging, natural English across fiction, non-fiction, and translated texts. Native English speaker with a degree in English Language and Literature and TEFL-qualified, with six years of freelance experience writing and refining high-quality content. I have experience working across a wide range of genres, including children’s books, romance (including explicit content), and crime and thriller fiction, as well as non-fiction and general content writing.

I also provide proofreading for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and consistency, as well as line editing for flow, clarity, tone, and readability. I specialise in refining translated or non-native English into natural, fluent writing and adapting tone for different audiences. As both a writer and editor, I focus on how text feels to the reader—not just correctness. I work to improve flow, voice, and engagement while preserving your original style. My TEFL background allows me to effectively shape translated or non-native English into smooth, natural language. I adapt my approach depending on the project, whether that’s clarity and rhythm for children’s books, voice and emotional impact for romance and fiction, tension and pacing for thrillers, or structure and readability for non-fiction. You can expect clear, thoughtful writing and edits, consistent tone and flow, reliable communication, and a professional, collaborative approach. I’m happy to provide a short sample so you can see how I would approach your project. Feel free to get in touch to discuss your manuscript or content. My rates typically range from $0.025 to $0.04 per word for editing and $0.04 to $0.08 per word for writing, depending on the scope and complexity of the project.

My name is Alison Ortony, and I have developed exceptional writing and proofreading skills as a perpetual student. More recently, I worked as a graduate assistant during my final semesters. During this time, I edited and proofread dissertation chapters for more than 20 students. These chapters were all written in APA 6 or 7, and I was responsible for ensuring correct grammar, punctuation, accurate APA formatting, citations, and references. Since then, I have expanded the types of work that I edit to include fiction. When reading fiction, I maintain my intense focus on grammar, punctuation, and clarity while maintaining the characters' and author's voices. This requires a careful adaptation of editing to ensure meaning and tone are clearly expressed.

Do you want your communication to be clear, your book to be the best, your publications to be perfect? The proofreading and editing skills I offer can help you achieve all of these goals. I take my time and love a challenge. My ratings and feedback are Top Rated and my experience here on Upwork is varied. For six years, I proofread reviews for a technology website, providing some editorial support along the way. My previous experience also includes creating a policy and procedure manual for a computer help desk where I was the supervisor and creating training materials for Office products and personally created programs. I have always been a picky spell checker and punctuation perfectionist that finds errors everywhere. I enjoy reading e-books on my Kindle, and do so voraciously, and was spurred to offer my proofreading expertise. How may I help you today?
