WRITING
Writing is an art that requires a healthy combination of creativity, patience, inspiration, passion – and time.
Come on a journey with me where engaging content is carefully crafted, and the written word becomes an art form that captivates hearts and minds.
I specialise in copywriting for the luxury lifestyle sector (watches, jewellery, property and travel) and the arts. I am also a ghostwriter.
COPY EDITING
My skill in copy editing transcends simply correcting grammar and punctuation.
I am committed to achieving clarity and coherence, weaving a golden thread between precision and creativity, and collaborating with writer and editor to craft a powerful narrative.
It's a delicate dance executed with finesse, dedication and passion for the written word.
PROOFREADING
I have an eagle eye that allows me to spot errors others might overlook. My commitment to excellence ensures that I scrutinise each element on the page from spelling to punctuation and heading style.
The published copy is flawless, polished to perfection, true to the writer's voice and purpose, and a compelling read.
