I have worked as a writer and proofreader for over 20 years with work published both online and in print magazines, and more recently I have been involved in AI training and data annotation. My areas of expertise include writing engaging, SEO-optimised blog posts and articles, creative writing, proofreading and editing content to ensure it’s perfectly written for an English-speaking audience, and creating YouTube scripts and user manuals. I’m also available for rewriting and enhancing content that has been written by a non-native English speaker, or generated by AI.
While I’m happy to write about a wide range of topics, I have particular experience in interior décor, pets and travel writing, with particular in-depth knowledge of Walt Disney World and Disney Cruise Line. My writing style is aimed at engaging readers, with a personable feel and perhaps a little humour, so your content will stand out from the crowd. I am native English, but US English text is also no problem.
I’m often available at short notice, and I’m super-efficient, I’ll always meet your deadlines!

Born and raised in Australia, I’m a native English speaker and Southern Cross University graduate. I’ve copyedited and proofread a diverse array of projects including novel-length fantasy and sci-fi (Adult, YA, and MG), short stories, blog content, and academic writing. On top of my work experience, I have received specialist training as a copyeditor through the University of California San Diego’s Copyediting Certificate.
While my legal name is Safiyah, I go by Miriam, but I’ll answer to either.
EDITING:
I offer copyediting and proofreading services for fiction, nonfiction, web content, and academia. I’m well versed in CMOS for US English, NOSM for UK English, and APA and Harvard (including Cite Them Right) for referencing, but I’m happy to work with house styles. I include a style sheet with every project over 10,000 words for your reference and any other editors you’ll be working with.
I will not interact with content produced, structured, conceived, or edited by generative AI, nor will I use it as a tool at any point or for any task (such as editing, reading, or providing feedback).
Want to see if I’m the right fit for your manuscript? I offer a free sample edit for a section under 2% of your total wordcount (e.g. for a 70,000-word novel, the sample could be up to 1,400 words). Shoot me a message any time, and no hard feelings if my services aren’t for you.
ALPHA AND BETA READING:
I have beta read 11 full-length fiction manuscripts so far, as well as dozens of individual chapters, short stories, and novellas. Ideally I prefer to have enough time to read through the manuscript twice. My usual process is to leave in-line comments on the manuscript and prepare a separate report that includes a simple story bible, an overall review, and a roadmap of points that might need addressing. It’s not as daunting as it sounds – I’m very open to conversation and brainstorming before we call it a wrap and end the contract.
Please note that I do not offer professional developmental editing services. Beta readers interact with your story as readers, not as editors. A developmental editor will be able to shape your manuscript into the most cohesive, gripping, marketable version of itself. As a reader, I can suggest what your target readership may find more appealing, but I tend to advocate for unique elements and concepts that may be a tough sell.
