“It still felt like me but Jen made it flow better”
Jen has a real grasp of the story I am trying to communicate to my readers and edits my text to give it a better flow, without losing my message.
My tone wasn't changed and it still felt like me even though Jen made the text very polished and flow much better. She has a good eye for detail and I highly recommend her.

What the process includes:
The briefing
Before I start, I’ll need you to complete a client brief. Depending on its length, I’ll also need to see a sample page, to enable me to give you an accurate quote.
I provide you with a fee proposal and scope. Once you pay a 50% deposit, I get to work. The final 50% is payable on receipt of the final work.
The proofreading
I’ll make tracked changes to the text, and add any queries as comments. I will:
Correct any errors in the spelling, grammar and punctuation;
Correct or query any style or consistency issues;
Correct or query factual errors; and
Check formatting visually and for consistency.
I’ll issue it to you to give you chance to check and make any comments.
Editing
Editing offers you more than proofreading.
An editor’s role is to see and understand the big-picture message and offer critique to make sure that the main message doesn’t get lost in the detail.
So as well as picking up and correcting the errors listed above, my editing service also covers checking that your text is:
Clear and consistent in tone of voice;
Appropriate to the target audience;
Focused and concise;
Legally safe; and
Styled and presented consistently and correctly.
My editing service provides valuable input to make sure your message gets across to your target audience as intended.
Remember, we want to move your readers to action!
What the process includes:
The briefing
You complete a client brief and provide a sample. We chat about your project, so that I can understand your business, who your ideal client is and what you need your copy to do for you.
I provide you with a fee proposal. Once you pay a 50% deposit, I get to work.
The editing
I’ll make tracked changes to the text, and add any queries as comments.
The refining
Once I’m done, we can chat through the queries and I will make one further round of edits if necessary, then issue the finished piece for you to hit publish. Exciting!
