Project details
You will get your written work (academic/business/creative) proofread and sense-checked, with feedback & suggestions for improvement. It will be formatted for printing (including basic, but effective image layout).
You can also have your work restructured and crafted into high quality English (US or UK) of the appropriate voice and style.

Business... More than two decades of experience writing for many businesses as a business analyst, systems analyst and knowledge manager. Your work will be presented to the highest standard of business English for any sector (marketing, financial, technical, educational, scientific...) or use case (report, user story, email, blog, sales letter, web-page...).
Creative... Writing is my passion too. Your song/novel/play/poem will be proofed & sense-checked with constructive, helpful and insightful feedback - as a bare minimum - and I will gladly assist on rewrites to achieve your creative vision. I have worked with top talent and written in many creative styles for 31 years.

About Charlie
Writer & Analyst
Hindhead, United Kingdom - 7:09 am local time
I believe in exceeding expectations and delighting my clients. I've managed projects for Fortune 500 corporations like IBM and BP, and world-leading NGOs like WWF - so I'm used to delivering top-quality work on time and within budget.
For my online clients I write, edit, proof and rewrite any type of written work (copy, reports, proposals, specifications, technical documentation etc) in excellent Business English. I also provide an advanced level of graphical design to support the text, eg spreadsheet charts, process workflow diagrams, presentation slides etc.
At Pirate & Fox I manage remote teams delivering online advertising, newsletters, affiliate marketing and sales funnels to our clients' lists (some of which exceed 100,000 subscribers).
At WWF I achieved numerous efficiencies through re-engineering workflows in Fundraising, HR and Finance processes as well as cross-silo organisational operations. I delivered project management standards and training, chaired the Knowledge Management group and drove conservation project reports through to acceptance by the EU.
I've worked as a business & systems analyst, technical author, database expert, programmer, musician, tutor and actor. I am also a father and very active in my local community (the beautiful Surrey Hills of England), so I am a well-rounded individual with strong values and a commitment to quality.
I have a degree in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Sussex (2001), a broad program that included modules in philosophy, psychology and cognitive science as well as computational and animal intelligence.
On the creative side, I have been performing as a musician and singer/songwriter for more years than I care to admit. I have performed on prime-time Christmas television here in the UK and at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall in London, as well as at many festivals like the Edinburgh festival. I am also a keen amateur writer of poems, plays, screenplays, children's stories and novels.
Why hire me?
- I exceed expectations
- I communicate clearly
- I take ownership
- my rates are very reasonable (at the moment!)
Why am I on Upwork?
I am keen to develop my freelance writing (looking ahead to a future where I can write novels for a living), and - although we are doing very well at Pirate & Fox - the pandemic has taught us all that diversifying your portfolio is no bad thing.
