About Freelancer

Hello, I offer you Human Intelligence (HI)!
I will make significant improvements to your content and lift the quality and effectiveness of your writing. I am a versatile wordsmith—a creative copy editor and thoughtful writer, with certification as a proofreader.
I am (hopefully)—your new hire—and here, in a nutshell, are some good reasons why:

I am educated to postgraduate level, and a native English-speaking Australian living in Spain since 2018. I am an exam-certified proofreader, with medical textbook experience since 2008.
In an eclectic 30-year career I held a series of in-house roles in magazine, newspaper and book publishing, settling in the medical sector, with editorial work a constant thread.

I have experience writing and copy editing news articles, blogs, social media and newsletters. I provide compelling improvements to language and meaning in books, reports, academic papers, SM posts.

I am Gen X, constantly learning and evolving in this dynamic industry. I am familiar with SEO and have experience with WordPress, Yoast, SurferSEO, and Grammarly. I humanise AI-generated text and do not utilise the technology in my output.

The services I offer your project include:

  • Copy editing to rework the text line by line to improve natural English flow and readability while preserving your style and voice
  • Proofreading for errors in grammar, punctuation, spelling, syntax, lexical choice, repetition and consistency, etc.
  • Researching and writing content to your brief; rewriting, and paraphrasing with zero plagiarism

I hold a BA (Honours) degree in English Literature and a Postgraduate Diploma in Librarianship. In 2020 I passed the examination at the Proofreading Academy for my continuing professional development. I also work on the Reedsy book publishing platform earning consistent five-star reviews on editing more than 40 books to date (June 2024).

I am currently copy editing the US journal, Education for Health, and proofreading the peer-reviewed journal, Pathology, for the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia.

I love my freelance life and my insights and enthusiasm for words will rub off! I hope to learn your requirements and then exceed your project expectations!

Warm regards,
Sarah :)
