You need a reliable copyeditor who knows your sector inside out.

Non-fiction copyediting

I provide professional help to make your text ready for publication by ensuring that it’s clear, consistent, correct and complete, and that it reads well for its intended purpose.

I will polish your documents by removing grammatical errors, false friends, any unclear meaning and rephrasing sentences that sound unnatural, ready for a professional global audience.

My service can also include advice on grammar and punctuation points, and/or producing a style guide for your organisation.

I can also rewrite content if that’s what you need, and offer a separate fact-checking service to ensure all your content is accurate

I always offer an initial consultation to discuss what you need, and provide a style sheet on request.

My rates for editing are in line with industry standards. CIEP’s minimum suggested rates can be found here.
