Copywriting agencies may find themselves caught in the cycle of liaising, researching, writing, rewriting, editing, and tweaking. When you've read something too many times, it's easy to miss the obvious. That's where I come in – a fresh pair of eyes for a final read, catching anything that may have slipped through.
-
Press releases need to be accurate, clear, engaging and give a positive first impression. My objective scrutiny will ensure that your audience won't be distracted by any mistakes, allowing your voice and message to be communicated effectively.
-
Company reports and brochures are often written by multiple authors, but I understand the importance of having a consistent ‘author voice’ throughout (appropriate to the house style and company branding) as well as cutting through jargon to make sure your message is received and understood.
-
Research reports need to be precise. I ensure clarity of style, flag any obvious factual inaccuracies, make sure that names and organisations are accurate, check that tables and graphs are correctly titled (and that statistics add up, where necessary), maintain consistency – headings, capital letters, hyphens, spelling – and check that contents pages match up to their page numbers.
-
AI isn't going away. I have worked with businesses with very small marketing budgets. AI-generated copy allowed them to build a website and produce marketing material. I then worked on the copy to reflect the client's unique voice, added nuance, strengthened clarity and flow, removed generic phrasing and repetition and aligned the copy with their brand personality.
-
AI/Auto-generated subtitles are becoming more common. They don't always make sense, with AI sometimes making up words it thinks it hears, adding words where the presenter is just breathing, or starting each caption as a new sentence. I take a broader overview, making the subtitles make sense to the viewer.
-
E-learning courses are a showcase to your business. I can serve as your safety net, guaranteeing that your courses reflect the high standards you promote.
-
Business books are also within my offering, on either a copyediting or proofreading basis. I can work with you to find support for the whole process and then provide that final polish for your work.
My mission is to ensure accessibility and clarity to your written content, catching any minor slip-ups that could cause embarrassment or loss of sales.

Do you feel confident with your writing but would like some reassurance?
I offer a ‘Proofreading Top Tips’ workshop to run you through the most important things to look for when polishing your writing. I can also create a bespoke style guide for you, working with you to reflect your branding, tone of voice and communication aims. Both are available either together as a package or as individual elements.
The aim is to support you in creating clear, consistent and effective writing.
