My Services

I have often used my proficiency in the written word to check and edit a number of documents and theses for others. I have also written various articles and features for magazines and websites, as well as publishing a book of short stories.

I am adept at working flexible hours, and I am very organised and dependable by nature. I know time is often of the essence. Therefore, I will meet your deadline with professionalism and courtesy, ensuring that your work is returned to you when you need it.

If you have any special requests or would like more information, please get in touch.

NB: Prior to the commencement of any work, a written agreement will be signed by both parties, laying out the terms of the project, so as to protect the interests of each party.

Please review my Privacy Policy to get a clear understanding of how I collect, use, protect, and handle your personal information.

Content Writing

Ever since I can remember, I have always had a passion for reading and writing. I used to get so absorbed in my books that I would lose all sense of my actual surroundings—I still do! At school, my fertile imagination led to many descriptive essays and stories, which continued throughout my life.

In October 2020, I fulfilled my lifelong dream of publishing my first book of short stories. This collection of short stories, Flowing From The Ebb: A Short Story Collection About The Tides Of Life, is available in Kindle and paperback format on all Amazon Marketplaces.

I offer professional content writing services for websites, articles, blogs, and other writing requirements. Please visit my Portfolio for a detailed sample of my written works.

Proofreading and Editing

Some errors will always slip past you, no matter how many times you read the text. This is because, when you read your own work, you are reading it from memory. This can often lead you to overlook mistakes. And that is why you need an independent proofreader to find them all!

Get in touch if you are finalising your dissertation; if you want your website to look flawless; if you are looking for a fresh pair of eyes to scan your book thoroughly.

I offer professional proofreading and advanced editing services to ensure your written work is fully polished and ready for publication.

My Training

In 2020, I completed two online courses offered by Universal Class, an accredited provider of the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET).

One of these courses was in Proofreading and Copyediting, with a final score of 98%. The other course was in Freelance Writing, with a final score of 100%.
