There are several ways that I can help you to produce copy that:

• gets a clear message across to your audience
• makes sense and sticks to the point
• is stylistically consistent and factually accurate
• has no errors in grammar, punctuation and spelling

I can work with hard copy or on-screen.

You pick the level of service that you need.

Writing

• Articles
• Web content
• Communications materials
• Corporate documents

I can write your copy from scratch, or I can partially rewrite existing copy. I will use your personal or house style, and make sure that your message gets across to the intended audience. I can also carry out some research if required.

Copy-editing and proofreading

I can provide a thorough edit of your copy, working to improve it in the following areas:

• Overall accuracy and clarity
• Consistency and continuity
• Punctuation. grammar and word usage
• Lay-out and style
• Structure and paragraphing
• Removing repetition and ambiguity
• Checking bullets and numbered lists
• Checking references

If your copy only needs proofreading, I can just focus upon removing typos and spelling errors, check the grammar and punctuation, and have a general look at style and layout.
