    For the last four and a half years I have spent my working days, and some weekends too, as a remote online editor for a US editorial service producing daily business newsletters for a number of top-draw corporate clients, so I’ve become accustomed to American English and the AP style.

    Writing and editing copy for website launches and re-launches has also been a good discipline to learn — one client saying, “… as ever the quality is top notch. His attention to detail and diligence in getting to grips with the subject matter has been truly impressive!”

    Writing articles, blogs and marketing/PR copy, encompassing technology, mobile technology, education and finance, has been no less satisfying and I have received some very positive feedback for my work.

    More positive feedback came from an Australian global consultancy — over time I have edited their website content, some presentations, personnel profiles, reports and even cherry-picked videos for useful quotes. A senior member of their team said: “Thank you immensely. You don’t know that enormous sense of calm that you get after someone like you has proofread something.”

      Rory is a pleasure to work with. He is honest with his feedback and bought my children's story to life with the changes he suggested. He has motivated me to continue the work with the rest of the stories and in saying this I will be asking Rory to work with me again.
