Creative Writing

$30/hr Starting at $25

Having worked in System Testing in the IT industry for ten years and as a developer before that, I have a well practised eye for detail. I have written many technical documents and in turn proofread and edited documents by other authors. I have recently completed formal training in Professional Proofreading and Copy Editing to enable me to diversify into more general work away from IT and build a business working from home. I consider myself to be fast, accurate and professional and while I am in my early days of a new career, I will be more interested in building a reputation rather than a bank balance. With five years experience editing novels, countless documents and web pages, I am well placed to take care of your manuscript. My clients are from all corners of the planet; U.S., U.K., Australia, New Zealand and even Iceland.My services include corrections of spelling, grammar, punctuation, word selection, tense and voice as well as consistency and continuity. At your request

Steve Lyons was a great find on this site and I truly consider myself lucky for having found him. He is a thorough editor who communicates well and completes tasks quickly. Steve not only acted as an editor for SFHS, but he also assised greatly with ideas for this and upcoming stories. I plan on using Steve a lot in the future and if you want success with your projects, you will too, Thanks Steve!
