Proofreader, Editor and Copywriter
Shrewsbury, United Kingdom
I am a professional freelance
copywriter, editor and proofreader. I can guarantee
original and compelling words with extremely careful attention
... to detail, whether I am writing for you or editing and proofreading on your behalf. I specialise in: - Writing and editing SEO copy including product descriptions, articles and general web content. - Researching and writing for factual books. - Editing and proofreading fiction and non-fiction. - Writing fiction, for adults and children. - Designing and managing editorial processes for organisations. - Writing, editing and proofreading business documentation. - Proofreading dissertations and theses for foreign students. I qualified as a proofreader with the Publishing Training Centre in 2006 and am an associate member of the Society for Editors and Proofreaders. I have also undertaken further courses to continue my development and keep my skills up to scratch. I have worked with one client for over two years; developing, editing, proofing, researching and writing for a series of biographies for print on demand and digital publishing. I have also been involved in writing and editing the marketing copy for this organisation. Other shorter term clients include: small businesses who need SEO website and marketing copy; businesses requiring editing, writing and proofreading of a range of documentation; self-publishing authors, fiction and non-fiction; Masters students whose first language is not English. My business background has been largely within the charity and IT sectors, in sales, service delivery and project management. As a former project manager I am extremely well organised, as well as conscientious and efficient when it comes to meeting deadlines. If I take a job on, clients can be assured that I will be honest with costs and timescales and will endeavour to meet all agreed requirements. I am a writer in my spare time and I love working with words which is why I took the leap into freelance work. I enjoy meeting and working with new people and have clients all over the UK, as well as in the US and Australia.Skills: Copy Writing
