MAKING YOUR WORDS COUNT

PROOFREADING, COPY-EDITING, COPYWRITING

Have you written your dissertation? Drafted a paper, article or report? And you need the language to be clear, clean and consistent. You want your words to count. 

Perhaps you've written a book and want someone to polish it? You’ve been through the developmental and line-editing stages. And you need someone to do the final copy-edit and proofread.

Maybe you've got a website but you're not happy with the wording? The copy needs tidying up or fleshing out – or cutting down and reorganising. You want your reader to take notice and take action. 

Or do you want someone to help with your social media posts, newsletters or blogs so you can publish with confidence? Someone who can turn your ideas into copy that persuades your target audience. 

I can help – with all of these. 

Perfect Words by Amanda George is a proofreading, copy-editing and copywriting service 
specialising in academic and business projects, dissertations, papers, articles, reports, and college and university literature. I can also help with your book draft, blog post, magazine, web copy, social media or CV – anything you have written that you want to look its very best.

I will make your words count. If they’re in your head, and you're struggling to get them down on paper, I can help. My job is to understand what you want to say and translate that into clean and persuasive copy. I am an Intermediate-Level Member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP). Excellent customer service is guaranteed.

Freelance proofreading and copy-editing

Hello, I'm Amanda

I am an experienced proofreader and copy-editor with 25 years of in-house and freelance experience, and I am an Intermediate-Level Member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading. For 10 years I worked at St John's College, Cambridge, producing high-quality literature as part of an events-management and fundraising team. This involved project management, copywriting, copy-editing and proofreading, among other things. When I left St John's in 2008, I created Perfect Words, and I have since worked freelance with students, academics, publishers, universities, charities, authors and businesses. I have polished and sharpened dissertations, articles, papers, CVs, covering letters, websites, book drafts, magazine copy, reports, proposals and white papers. Expect excellent customer service and a human (no robots here) who responds to your queries quickly and efficiently.
 
I also created an animal charity

When I left St John's College, I also created The Sanctuary Angels, a small voluntary organisation that raises awareness and vital funds for animals and their rescuers around the world. This involves managing a small team of volunteers, fundraising, copywriting and ninja-style admin skills. Since I created the charity in 2008, we have raised more than £97,000 for animal rescue – in the form of £500 Angel Grants.
