"Truly impressed with Emma's proofreading & editing skills! Her exceptional attention to detail and professionalism exceeded all expectations. Polite and cooperative throughout, she always delivered on time. I will be using her again for future work. Highly recommend!"

I’ve been proofreading and editing academic and trade texts for the past decade. During that time, I've helped many clients improve their writing, whether they’re looking for a final set of eyes to check their finished manuscripts, or they want a complete overhaul of sentence structure and style. I love working with authors to make sure their writing is polished and professional, and says exactly what they want it to say.

I specialize in academic editing, with a focus on humanities subjects, but I also have experience editing a wide range of other manuscripts, from film prospectuses to cookbooks. Whatever your project, I'd love to talk with you about how I can help!

My background as a teacher has helped me approach every project in a constructive, non-judgmental way. I'm looking forward to working with you to make your writing shine.
