editing and proofreading services

I will provide a light edit to sharpen up an already developed piece or a deep edit that involves a sustained collaboration to address structural issues as well as characterisation and dialogue and to bring out key themes and plot lines.

I will scan your piece for grammar, spelling, punctuation and consistency. I will also suggest areas that need rewriting or clarification and flag up any facts that may need checking. 

This service is specifically tailored for your thesis, essay or dissertation. I will scan it for grammar, spelling, punctuation and accuracy as well as guide you towards a style that is easy to read and presents your ideas clearly and succinctly. 

I will bring my extensive experience as a theatre and TV practitioner to bear on your piece. Structure, characterisation, dialogue and flow will be the key areas of focus. I will also be there with advice and contacts for further research and development and production.  

 I will provide clear and engaging text tailored to what you need. This may be copy for a website, a print ad, text for a catalogue or a ghostwriter for your novel or memoir. Examples of my writing are available on request. 

 The job of an editor doesn't have to end with the final edit. I will also put you in touch with writers' groups for ongoing feedback and, in the case of scripts,  professional actors and directors for rehearsed readings and future productions.
