What you get with this Offer

Don't put your readers off with careless mistakes.

Let me proofread your work and you will get:
* spot on grammar and punctuation
* typos and accidental white space removed
* a Word doc with changes tracked, so you can see what I've done
* a chance to ask for one set of changes after I've delivered

All delivered super quickly.

I'm a native English speaker with an MA in professional writing. I taught grammar, writing and editing at university for five years and have worked as a freelance for over a decade (with clients including Red Bull, IRONMAN, Expedia, Trainline, International Association of Jewellers).

I'm fast, efficient, professional and friendly and I guarantee we'll enjoy our time together -- however brief.

**NOTE I will not proofread or make corrections on academic material unless you provide evidence that your department allows it**

If you're looking for a proofreader, copy editor or copy writer, look no further.

I'm a native English speaker with an MA in professional writing. I taught grammar, writing and editing at university for five years and have worked freelance for over a decade (with clients including Red Bull, IRONMAN, Expedia, Trainline, International Association of Jewellers).

I'm fast, efficient, professional and friendly, and I guarantee we'll enjoy our time together -- however brief.

I'll happily turn my hand to an essay that needs a final proofread or to long-term content writing or editing projects. I've rewritten course material, given manuals a new voice, edited fiction and non-fiction manuscripts and even helped out with rock lyrics.

My keyboard and I are in your pit waiting to ensure your vehicle outperforms the rest.



I have clients who use my words daily, weekly, monthly and on the odd occasion, but they all keep coming back.

Now it's your turn: let me help your words do exactly what you want them to do.

Luckily, I have borrowed Hermione's time-turner, so I am perfectly capable of doing in a day what it takes others to do in a week.
