Creative ideas

• When your project could do with some additional creative input, ideas for further content, or connections with new sources or contacts, I am happy to contribute, based on my extensive experience in a range of business environments

 

Not sure which service you need?

• Copy editors improve the overall structure and readability of the text, whereas proofreaders ensure the accuracy and consistency of the final product. So let’s talk about your project. Send me an outline, or an example, or excerpts from, the work you need help with. I can assess it without charge and advise you on whether it’s a proofreading exercise, a project where copy editing would be advisable, or whether other input is required.

 

Why you should choose me

• I have huge experience in the editorial space. It spans everything from books, articles and newsletters on business topics to memoirs and personal journeys. Whatever your requirement, you will find me a versatile and creative source of advice and encouragement.
