What I Do
Think of the editing process as similar to a piece of seaglass: the ocean takes something delicate and smooths the rough edges away, leaving behind something stronger.
I will be the rolling tide. Together we can create a piece of work that is polished, natural, and unique.
COPY EDITING
Copy editing is intended to polish your existing work. I will address errors in spelling and grammar, adhering to a style guide of your own or creating one for you, whilst paying close attention to your writing style and voice.
Your document will be delivered clean with tracked changes for you to assess and approve and includes a final proof read.
Best for: refining your online content or presence, blogs and articles, written products such as workbooks
One hour equals roughly 1500-2000 words, depending on the density of the text and amount of work required.
from £30 an hour
LINE EDITING
After an initial manuscript assessment, we might decide that line editing is a better approach.
This will include everything offered in a copy edit, but with extra time spent to address clunky phrasing and any major errors such as accidental tense changes and tone discrepancies.
Best for: longer projects where the consistency of tone or plot is particularly important, like fiction or chunkier manuscripts
One hour equals roughly 1000-1500 words of detailed reworking.
from £34 an hour
PROOF READING
Proofreading is your last step before your manuscript is ready for publication.
Once the piece has been through the editing process I will carefully read through your work in detail, paying close attention to catch any missed typos or little inconsistencies.
Best for: big projects that need a final polish and have already been copy or line edited (whether by me or by another editor)
One hour equals roughly 2000-3000 words, depending on the complexity of the text.
from £20 an hour
BRAND REFRESH
No one likes writing their 'about' page... I can take your existing website content or biography page and refine it, reigniting your confidence in your personal branding.
The world is your oyster here, and we can discuss tackling as much or as little as you need to get you back on track.
Best for: independent freelancers, artists, and makers feeling understandably overwhelmed
Negotiable based on requirements: get in touch and we can discuss!
