Helping you achieve your writing goals

Hi, I’m Louise and I’m a professional editor and proofreader.

I’m also a published author. I understand the time and effort required to complete a writing project. And I understand how intimidating it can be to submit your work for review.

I believe that the editorial process should be kind and collaborative. It should build your confidence and your self-belief as a writer.

I have worked as a consultant and as a trainer in corporate communications. I also have academic teaching experience and a PhD in Literature. I bring this unique set of skills to my business, and I’m here to support you.

I am committed to high standards of professional competence

I follow the Membership Codes of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading

“Louise was unfailingly professional; she communicated her projected timeline clearly, gave me updates, and delivered edited material on or ahead of schedule. I have experience working with copyeditors, and I can say without reservation that Louise is one of the best. She was consistently hard-working, meticulous, and good-natured.”
