Editing with Emily
Who I am
I’m a Meanjin-based editor who specialises in plain language.
After 7 years as a high school French and English teacher, I studied a Master of Writing, Editing and Publishing. Now I help grown-ups make the words on their pages match the ones in their heads.
Who I work for
(and what they say)
I work with authors, academics and professionals, polishing their drafts into clear, concise, consistent documents.

Dr Joanna Beresford — author
Emily provided structural edits and proofreads for two of my novel manuscripts. As I felt I had gotten too close to the work, I found her sharp recommendations about plot weaknesses and awkward sentence structure valuable. Her notes were easy to follow, and she was generous with her time during our post-task discussion. I highly recommend her service to anybody desiring an individually tailored approach.
Y Campbell — wildlife academic
I engaged Emily to help me with my first research project. She helped me with the structure and academic formatting. Her advice on language choices helped me make my writing accessible to my target audience. Emily was patient and never made me feel underqualified. Through several reviews and rewrites, my article was published in the Australian Veterinary Journal. Getting published is a huge achievement as an undergrad, and I couldn't have done it without Editing with Emily.
Deborah Shaw — accredited editor
Emily did fantastic work proofreading an article for my website. She picked out all the details I'd missed and offered insightful suggestions to make my message clearer. Thank you!
