About you
If you’re producing a business document, marketing content, a book, or anything else that matters, it’s vital that the writing is clear, consistent and easy for your readers to follow.

All sorts of problems can easily creep in, such as typos, poor punctuation, awkward phrasing, and words or abbreviations that some readers might not recognise.
You can’t rely on yourself to check your own writing, however good your English is. You’ll be too familiar with it, and you’ll ‘see’ what you expect to see – which might not be what’s actually there. The meaning will be clear to you, because you wrote it. But will it be just as clear to your readers?
A computer spell-checker will help, but can only do so much. It can’t check that you’re using the right words, or that your meaning will be obvious to your readers. Also, it doesn’t have the common sense to decide when to leave something as it is. This isn’t an exact science: even if something follows an established ‘rule’, it might not be the best choice, and human judgement is valuable.
To get your material checked reliably, you need a trained professional – someone with a fresh pair of eyes and a knack for spotting errors, inconsistencies and other things that can be made better. This is where I can make a difference.
