Words that always spell professional

The right words can help engage customers and sell your business and brand. However, if the copy you use for your business is full of errors or doesn’t read well, they’ve lost half their value. Wondering if your words are up to scratch? Instead of playing the guessing game, email them to me.

I’ve got an eagle eye + AI

Working as your copyeditor, I can pick up on everything from spelling and grammar mistakes to factual inaccuracies and typos. I also understand what makes a good piece of writing and know how to improve it. The words will still sound like you, but the flow, copy and message will be more powerful.

Just to be double-sure I don’t miss anything, I run my edited or proofed copy through AI-powered apps, such as Grammarly.

Copyediting

As your copyeditor, as well as correcting grammatical and factual errors, I also improve the overall structure and readability of the copy, boosting its effectiveness.

Proofreading

I look for consistency and accuracy in grammar, spelling, punctuation, and formatting, ensuring there are no mistakes before your copy goes live or to print.

Happy client

Kerrie recently supported me to proofread copy for Ingham’s Annual Report. Her attention to detail was exactly what I needed – a fresh set of eyes and the expertise to ensure our storytelling was well written. While managing multiple content pieces and people as part of the annual report production process, I was also extremely grateful for Kerrie’s flexibility when we had to move dates slightly and her swift turnaround time to ensure our schedule stayed on track. Her approach was the perfect mix of professional, expert, flexible and of course lovely to work with … you want all of this as an extension of your team when you’re under the pump
