I aim to write and to help others produce written work as engaging, comprehensible and polished as it can be, and to ensure that your website's copy is optimised, with SEO that really clicks
As a professional, published writer and editor with many years’ experience of checking and correcting the work of other writers, I bring over 15 years' high-level media production experience, having worked as a copy editor – a key editorial sense-making, fact-checking, and quality control role in the world of print journalism – for Australia's top business and consumer publishers.
My expertise lies in crafting and refining written content to make it error-free and fit to print, and, having honed my skills at the Australian Financial Review newspaper group – Australia's equivalent of the Financial Times or Wall Street Journal – (now owned by Nine Media), as well as on various titles at Australia's biggest magazine publisher, ACP Magazines (subsequently Bauer Media), I have extremely safe hands in proofreading and in enhancing the written work of others.
