When it comes to publishing books, compiling job applications or writing academic essays, you need to make sure your writing is of an exceptional standard. That's why editing and proofreading is so important.

I have over 3 years of experience editing and proofreading fiction, job applications, academic essays and poetry. With my expertise in script writing, I can help you sharpen your prose to ensure you tell your story as effectively and concisely as possible. I also offer focused assistance in helping you develop compelling characters and plot.

Together, we will elevate your project to a professional standard, so your readers can simply enjoy your work.

SERVICES

Editorial Assessment - £30*

*For projects up to 20,000 words.

An additional charge of £2 per extra 10,000 words is applied on larger projects.

An initial editorial assessment will provide a valuable overview of the strengths and weaknesses of your project, including feedback on elements such as structure, characterisation, plot, consistency and style. This will help to define a strategy to revise your work to improve the execution of your ideas.

Copy Editing - 0.01/per word

Copyedits include checking a document for grammar and spelling errors, editing for consistency and clarity, ensuring adherence to a style guide, and fact checking.

Developmental Editing - 0.013/per word

Developmental edits are more substantive than a copy edit and focus more on structure, organisation, characters, voice and tone. Developmental edits are helpful early in the writing process and can help with putting together an outline or organising thoughts for a final project.

Proofreading - 0.01/per word

Proofreading is the final check for spelling, capitalisation and punctuation errors, correct formatting, accurate references and consistency.

TESTIMONIALS

Hollie gave me feedback on my job applications, helping me to structure responses to long-answer questions and editing my covering letters for spelling and grammar errors. What she helped me with has given me the skills needed not only for job applications, but for any written task!
