Proofreader | Copy Editor | Copywriter
Words matter. Let’s make sure yours are right.
I’m a CIEP-qualified proofreader with over ten years’ experience helping businesses, publishers and individuals put out work they can be proud of — polished, accurate and ready for the world to read.
Whether it’s a report heading to the board, a website about to go live, or a manuscript on its way to print, a fresh pair of expert eyes makes all the difference. I work with businesses, agencies and individual authors to catch what others miss — checking grammar, punctuation, consistency, formatting and house style, so your work reads exactly as it should.
I’ve proofread everything from annual reports and sales decks to full-length novels, and worked with clients ranging from independent authors to global financial institutions including BlackRock and Vanguard. Careful, considered and always on deadline — that’s the standard I hold every project to.
