Making your words count
Freelance editing for academics, businesses, and charities

Whether you've written a blog post, a case study, or an academic paper, I will give you the tools to connect with your readers and publish with confidence.

English not your first language?
Want to be a more confident writer?
Worried your writing sounds robotic and inaccurate?

I support academics, businesses, and charities by ensuring that their papers, case studies, reports, and blog posts are grammatically sound, accurate, and professional – and that they sound like they were written by a human, for a human. Knowing their publications are being checked and cleaned up by an experienced human editor gives my clients peace of mind and the time to tackle all the other jobs on their to-do list.

Freelance proofreading and copy-editing

Hi, I'm Amanda

My pathway to freelance editing included an English and Latin degree, working in a university bookshop for 10 years, and producing publications for a Cambridge college for 10 years. Since 2009, I have been offering freelance editorial support to academics, businesses, and charities, giving them the confidence to submit their papers and publish with confidence.

My approach celebrates human creativity and potential, empowering people to educate and connect with their readers through their words. I love working with clients who enjoy the process of writing, whose first language might not be English. And while I don't use AI tools myself, I also have the skills and experience to check, humanise, and strengthen AI output.

I am an Advanced Professional Member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP).
