Copy-editing, proofreading and more

Making your words flow

Is your written material clear, easy to read and well suited to its audience? I can help to make sure it is.

I’m Graham Hughes, and I run GH Editorial, an editing and proofreading service based in Chester in the UK. I work mainly with business clients and with specialist and non-fiction publishers.

I've helped my customers with more than fifty books, well over a hundred business reports and much more.

Here’s what I can do for you:

Enhance your use of language, to help readers understand your message quickly and clearly
Fix errors and inconsistencies in spelling, grammar and punctuation
Help ensure your material will be suited to its purpose and your target readers
Advise you on formatting, layout, structure and editorial style
Edit your writing into plain English if needed
Do a high-level assessment of a document or manuscript (aka developmental editing)
Create or revise a style guide

I offer different types of service depending on what you need, as explained on the Services page. The About page has details of my training, experience and background.
