Jo is an excellent writer, proofreader and copyeditor who I call on regularly to help with project work. Her attention to detail is exceptional and I can always trust that she'll do a great job. She's a pleasure to work with.
Jo has proofread several reports for me. She makes sure she understands my style preferences and sorts out all the inconsistencies that can creep into a long document. She's also good at making small changes that make sentences clearer.
Professor of Economics, Bournemouth University
Welcome to my website. Find out how I can support your writing with my proofreading and copyediting services. I have experience of working with:
-
independent authors of non-fiction and fiction
The exact work I do for you can be tailored to suit your priorities and time frame.
I'm always happy to answer initial or follow-up questions. If you have work on a particular document in mind, give me an approximate word count and a brief description of your text.
If you have a query about one of the trickier aspects of grammar and punctuation, the answer may already be on my Resources page.
