Louise Heath Copyediting & Proofreading Services

Louise Heath Copyediting & Proofreading Services offers high-quality editorial services for legal, academic and other professionals.

Experience

I have over 20 years’ experience of legal editing, having worked in-house for both commercial and charitable organisations, as editor of various publications from short guides to 1,000-page-plus directories, including most recently a multi-award-winning legal journal aimed at the social justice/legal aid sector.

Her eye for detail and precision is second to none. I have always had absolute confidence in her to produce the best version possible of the material I submit.

Services

I offer a range of editorial services, both print and digital, from proofreading to more substantive copyediting (including fact-checking) to legal, academic and other clients. I want to help you communicate more effectively, clearly and authoritatively through your written words.

I can improve readability, style, accuracy, consistency and tailor your copy to its readership, as well as correcting errors of grammar, punctuation and spelling, while always respecting the author’s voice. Please see my website for more details of the services I offer: lhediting.com

Recent training

I am an intermediate-level member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading and have recently completed several refresher training courses: Proofreading 1: Introduction; Copyediting 1: Introduction; Word for Practical Editing; and Proofreading 2: Headway (Merit). I have also passed CIEP’s editorial test.

I would love to put my refreshed skills and lengthy experience to work on your written project, ensuring it is as polished and professional as possible. I am flexible and happy to discuss your requirements – please get in touch at [email protected]
