I’m Philippa Hammond, a freelance editor, content writer and translator who’s worked with purpose-driven organisations for 20+ years.
Based in Horsham in the UK, clients from all over the world come to me when they have no internal capacity. Or when online and AI tools fail to capture the essence and accuracy of the message, the data or the stories that drive change.
If you’re a subject expert, research institute, think-tank, NGO, non-profit or consultancy working on issues that matter, I can help you communicate your impact with precision.

Kind words from my clients
UNESCO-IIEP
‘Working on a document with a short deadline, Philippa has been responsive and diligent. When copy editing this long report on the education system in North Macedonia, she worked to our instructions, and her attention to detail - ,especially for repetitive changes in the text - was greatly appreciated. Thank you!’
Groupe Luminess
‘Philippa works regularly with us on the editing of various texts written by non-native English speakers for the European Banking Authority. These texts require a very thorough revision. In addition to the quality of her proofreading and editing, she was highly responsive to requests and ensured on-time delivery. This is very important to our company.’
