About Me

Professional freelance writer and editor.

I started out by working for three publications at Cambridge University and now I freelance part-time. I can turn my hand (or pen) to almost anything for any audience. My work has appeared in the Independent on Sunday, the New Milton Advertiser, Vision (magazine), Cat on the Wall (webzine), Betty Herbert (blog), Xilfee (website) and The Cambridge Student (newspaper).

I work as a CELTA-qualified English teacher and a native proofreader in Japan. I help clients with business contracts, letters and high-level academic documents. I have also worked as a proofreader for Straight Word, a research company based in Kyoto.

I advise clients on job and university applications. With several years' experience of editing cover letters and CVs, I have a keen eye for detail and a talent for concise and engaging writing.

I take pride in producing high quality work and I enjoy what I do. I always ensure a thorough understanding of the brief so that my work is accurate and effective.

I hold a place to study MSc Media and Communications at London School of Economics, I maintain a personal blog and I am social media savvy.

Areas covered: Writing, editing, proofreading, blogging, reviews, resumes, applications and cover letter writing

Phoebe is very professional and a pleasure to work with. I was happy to see how quickly things got done after our initial contact. I was impressed with the quality of the work she provided. That was exactly what I was looking for! Would definitely choose her again, if I had a similar task to complete.
