About me

Welcome! I'm Jane.

I'm an experienced, trustworthy, professional copy-editor and proofreader. I work with independent authors, businesses and publishers on fiction and non-fiction.

I'm an Advanced Professional Member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP) - this is the highest membership grade. I'm also a tutor on the CIEP's proofreading and copy-editing courses, and a Partner Member of the Alliance of Independent Authors.

I strongly believe that trust is the cornerstone of the editor-client relationship, whether the client is an author, business or publisher. You've put blood, sweat and tears into your project, and you can trust me to make the editing changes that will lift your words and allow them to shine.

I want you to be delighted with my edits: to feel that your work is still yours but perfected. Polished. Ready to go confidently out into the world.

The practicalities are important too. You can trust me to be honest ... but diplomatic. To be helpful and kind. To be professional. To return your project on schedule. To stick to your brief. To think of solutions to problems, and to keep you informed and up to date along the way.

Much of my work is with repeat clients, who come back to me because they trust me.
