Helping you craft better copy and prose through insightful editing

Here’s how I can help:

Developmental editing

Developmental editing is like having someone there as your sound board during the early stages of your writing project. Whether it’s a book, article or website content, any piece of writing has to answer a few basic questions around audience, purpose, structure, logic, story and style. As your developmental editor, I’ll make sure that you’re answering those core questions in order to build the best foundation for future re-writes.

Copy
editing

When you think of an Editor, it’s probably copy editing that you’re thinking of. Through this service, I’ll help to polish up your writing by looking out for spelling errors, incorrect grammar, logic breaks, and awkward sentences. At this stage, the goal is to ensure that your writing is consistent, cohesive and complete. This is the final step before publication, so it’s important to get your writing in tip-top form.

Proof

Have you ever published an interview only to find you’ve misspelt the subject’s name? Or gotten confused between the British and American spelling of ‘colour’ (or color). You only need to be an expert in what you’re writing, not about the technical bits. Right before you submit or publish that content, let me go over it with a fine-tooth comb to get rid of any of those final spelling, punctuation or inconsistency snags.

Types of content I can help with:

  • Blog posts, articles and essays

  • Website and digital marketing content

  • E-books and digital publications

  • Physical books and short stories (fiction and non-fiction)

How I work:

I have transparent and clear rates for editing work. Once I understand the type of content you’re writing, what you’re trying to achieve with it, plus the editing service you require, I’ll be able to suggest one to you. I always strive to establish clear expectations, goals and timelines that we’ve both contributed to. Any questions? Just let me know.
