BUSINESS EDITING SERVICES

Editing, proofreading, branding and historical services for your independent business

Professional editing, proofreading and writing services for businesses who have a story to tell.

Writing is hard

But using business editing services doesn’t have to be.

Why spend all your precious time worrying about whether your writing is good enough, if the damn apostrophe is in the right place, or if you’re getting your message across effectively. Writing for your business can be hard, and making sure your branding is consistent is hard too. We get so close to our own writing that it’s difficult to see our business the way others do.

And what if we have a story to tell, but aren’t that good at storytelling?

You do your thing. Let me do mine. I specialise in history, heritage and art, and help independent businesses like yours communicate effectively with a practical approach to your writing and branding. Together we’ll ensure that your writing is effective, engaging and energised.

Outsourcing business editing services doesn’t have to be painful.

Wordy stuff is WHAT I DO

I know just how to help

As a business owner sometimes you’ll need to outsource. You can’t do it all yourself or you’d never get your work done. My services, tailored around your needs, include professional editing services (copyediting, structural editing, document assessments and website assessments), proofreading, writing, historical research and maintaining consistency in your brand through editorial style guides and brand books. Basically I’m your go-to consistency consultant.

When you work with me you can be confident that you’re giving your business the best. Your writing will be well-written, aimed at your audience and will flow beautifully. You’ll be able to hold your head up high and show the world just how wonderful you are.

You can also be assured that you are working with a professional editor and writer who is trained to the highest standards.

I’ll either edit or proofread your writing for you, to give you that extra confidence, or I can write what you need. My business editing services retain your business voice. They make sure that your personality remains intact, allowing you to speak directly to your customers.

You want to look your best. Don’t worry about your words – I can help you.
