While AI can spark inspiration and save you lots of time, it lacks a natural human voice. Working with a real human allows you to be confident that your work is the best it can be (and sounds like a real human wrote it). Trust me, most people can tell when something is written by AI.

I specialise in partnering with individuals to make a positive impact in people's lives. Whether that is by assisting an international student with their postgraduate CV, a recent graduate looking to secure their first job, or a professional looking for their next one, I am passionate about helping people through my work. I am also open to collaborating with businesses and non-profit organisations that share my values: compassion, an unconditional love for people, animals, and the planet; excellence, a pride in one’s work and a commitment to quality; and integrity, doing the right thing (even when no one is watching).

Absolutely, yes. I value integrity and trust very highly. You can rest assured that any personal or sensitive information, as well as any unpublished content, goes no further than my eyes, and I use it for no further purpose than helping you. If I am given express and written permission to, I may share your text (with any personal details and sensitive information redacted) as a sample of my work.

As a freelancer, my working pattern is highly flexible. I also pride myself on prompt communication and respond to messages as soon as I can!

My turnaround times vary based on the complexity and length of the document, as well as my workload. Typically, a 600-word CV will be returned within 48 hours. Larger or more complex projects may take a few days or weeks, but I always provide an estimated delivery time after reviewing the material. Rest assured, I am committed to delivering high-quality work within the agreed-upon timeframe.

A proofreader generally checks for errors in a text, including those related to grammar, punctuation, spelling, sentence structure, word choice, and consistency. Should this role align with your requirements, I am well-equipped to fulfil these tasks to an exceptional standard. However, if desired, I can do this and more: I can look at the text in context, ensuring that it fits its purpose; I can rephrase bits and pieces where needed (while preserving your voice); I can make suggestions on the style, structure, and format of the text; and I can provide insightful and knowledgeable guidance on how the text might be improved. When copyediting, I do not simply fix errors but enhance and refine your text.

Of course. Depending on the project, I often offer at least one revision. That is, you can send your text back to me and I can carry out another round of copyediting or proofreading. This is to ensure your utmost satisfaction with my service and confidence in your work. Often clients will have a round of copyediting and then a round of proofreading later on once they have implemented the changes they would like to make.

For services with fixed prices, there is no minimum charge, but if you're being charged my hourly rate, my minimum charge is half an hour. This is simply to ensure that every task and its associated responsibilities (e.g., consultations, invoicing admin) is worth the time!

I will issue an invoice as soon as the project is complete. This invoice will contain details on how payment can be made. Payment must be made within 30 days of receiving the invoice.

I specialise in CVs, cover letters, and other application materials like personal statements. However, flexibility and adaptability are my strong suits, and I have experience editing various types of texts, including blog posts, articles, novels, letters, and websites.

Most, if not all, the information that I'll need to get started on a project is outlined on my ‘Working Together’ page, and during consultation I'll ensure that we are both clear on all of these points (like language, expectations, etc.), as well as the price and timeline for the project.

I generally conduct all communication over email. However, if you wish to schedule a video call for a longer project, this can certainly be arranged!

I do accept projects with tight deadlines when my workload allows me to. I may charge an 'express delivery' fee.
