About copycopia (distinction in proofreading | 92% | CIEP)

Are you looking for a professional editor to analyse and refine your copy so that it appeals directly to your audience? I’m a professional native (UK) English freelance proofreader, web editor and copy-editor, based in Hampshire.

I help businesses, authors and publishers to hone their copy for that vital competitive edge. I ensure your text is focused, consistent and credible, removing errors to reflect your professionalism. Working with varied clients and budgets keeps me responsive and flexible. I’ll guide you with advice, corrections and prompts to polish up your copy and give you the confidence to put it out there publicly. From novels and articles to websites, blogs and brochures, I regularly edit a broad range of material and look forward to hearing from you.

Every client receives excellent service and support through my conscientious approach to high-level precision and language fluency.

Depending on your preference, I can work on your text in any of the following ways:
– track changes feature in Microsoft Word documents
– British Standards Institution (BSI) symbols, either on hard copy or digitally
– commenting tools to mark up PDFs in Adobe Acrobat
– in your own content management system (web editing only).

I also speak German, French and basic Italian. I have excellent attention to detail, exacting standards and a professional yet personal approach.

My experience covers a variety of subject matter. Having studied four foreign languages (including Latin), with a 2:1 honours degree in German and History of Art, and having worked in financial roles as well as teaching in the public sector, I consider my subject specialisms to be the following:
– finance
– med comms
– education
– the arts (art history, fine art, music and culture)
– languages.
