article edit + rewrite
I specialise in polishing the work of rough-diamond writers. If your words have a heart of gold but need a skilled writer's touch, this is the ideal choice.

And if your work could use some extra material, I can write it for you in your voice. They'll never know it wasn't you!

classic article edit
Editing is so much more than simply fixing text errors. A skilled editor will take an overview of your writing and trim and reorganise it to help your story shine. Even the most famous and experienced writers use an editor because their keen eye for detail improves the reader's perception of the finished piece. The process can be as collaborative as you like, so we'll simply tweak it to suit your needs.

article copy check
Weed out mistakes before publishing with a professional copy check. This is a big step up from basic proofreading. A copy check delves deeper to fix the continuity errors and formatting mistakes that a proofreader won't touch. This is a great service for experienced writers who want to add polish to their work.

website copywriting
You have a fraction of a second to grab your visitor's attention. Don't waste it. I love websites. They give you an immediate window into the vision of their maker, but they also give you a very clear idea of their level of competency. We've all visited sites that don't look right or seem amateurish. Often, it's not the look of the website that gives you that impression, it's the writing. If the key message is poorly written, the visitor automatically assumes it only gets worse from there. Don't let that happen to you. By this point, you've probably heard about SEO (Search Engine Optimisation). That's the kind of writing that gets you found on Google. But when you're hiring a writer for your website, don't just settle for someone who writes good SEO. While it certainly drives people to your site, SEO doesn't clinch the deal. Great copywriting does. With me, you get a creative copywriter who writes with SEO in mind. You won't just get found on Google, your visitors will actually be excited to get in touch with you. Isn't that what we all want? Stop putting it off. Drop me a line and let's chat about your website ambitions. I can't wait to help you achieve them.
