Work with me
Welcome, change maker. I’m a copy editor for entrepreneurs. You may be a one (wo)man shop but you need nous and verve to keep that going and I’m here to take a chunk out of your to-do list. Here’s how I can help.
I edit e-books, email opt-in gifts and guest blog posts up to 10,000 words. I have a ‘superpower’ that crosses inspiration with attention to detail.
I’m all about making your work clear and charismatic so you can confidently build credibility and trust with your community.
After our collaboration, your e-book, opt-in gift or guest post will:
- boost your authority because your value will be easily understood
- make your readers more likely to trust you because the work delivers on its promise
- stop stalling your to-do list (you’ll be amazed how much motivation you’ll have to finish it once you have spruced and glowing content).
You’ll always get clear, specific advice on how to improve your work. No massacre by red pen here: I’ve been a professional non-fiction writer for 15 years so I’m in your corner. Now, let’s turn your customers into fans.
Editorial packages
Heads up, when we work together, editing is a respectful process that:
- is collaborative so we’ll need to be in touch throughout the project
- happens after your final draft copy is complete (once we get started, there’s no more continuing to create) but before layout and design.
Rise and Shine — e-book editing
Part 1: Are you serving your audience and your business by delivering on the promise of your title?
First we take a high-level look at whether your e-book flows logically, if there are any gaps in the information, if the language and process is audience and goal appropriate. You make the changes we agree upon.
Part 2: Is each sentence keeping your reader hooked?
This is where I dive into a detailed copy edit and check spelling, grammar, visual and text-based consistency. I’ll ensure each sentence is clear and error free so your credibility continues to build and your reader stays engaged. This package includes 3 revisions.

Why hire me?
Whatever you’re writing about, or wherever you call home, I can likely relate. I’m a well-travelled communications professional, trained in journalism and photography. I have an ear for language and an eye for design.
During the past 16 years, subjects I’ve written about and edited include: the arts, science, transport, travel, health, technology — and more recently, on this site, wellbeing. My editorial toolkit is well-stocked thanks to experience as a freelancer and in small business, corporate and government communications. I’ve lived and worked in Australia, the UK, France and USA and visited about 35 other countries too.
I also know what it takes to create a business you love: it’s not just about what you sell but who you are.
