Editing with Emily

Moving commas since 2019

Want your writing to stand out?

I’m an editor and plain language enthusiast who helps writers make the words in their heads match the words on the page. Let’s work together to refine your manuscript, journal article, thesis, personal essay, workplace writing or website copy.

Editing

If your words are on a page, I’ll help bring them greater cohesion, coherence and continuity.

Substantive editing focuses on your document's formatting, content, language and style. This type of editing ensures your message is appropriately pitched to your intended audience.

Copyediting refines your document's spelling, grammar and punctuation to be accurate, clear and consistent.

Proofreading

Do you know the difference between affect and effect? What about when to use that and which? How about MLA and Chicago? I do. If your document needs one last round of editing, let me find those pesky last-minute errors and infelicities for you.

Copywriting

Want writing that engages and persuades readers?

I write blogs, social media posts, CVs, cover letters, emails and any other business document you may need.

I acknowledge the Jagera people and the Turrbal people as the Traditional Custodians of the land where I edit and live. I acknowledge their connection to land, sea, and community, and that they never ceded sovereignty. I respect elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
