Melbourne freelance editor providing clear, accurate, and consistent editing for science, maths, and technical content.
As a freelance, accredited editor based in Victoria, I provide professional editing services designed to refine your written work into its best possible form. Whether you need proofreading for an annual report, copy-editing for a memoir, or editing support for textbooks, digital resources, or technical documents, I offer careful, tailored support to help you achieve clarity and confidence. My goal is to make your writing clear, consistent, and ready for publication.
STEP 1
Developmental Editing
Developmental editing is the first stage of shaping your written work. This involves looking at the big picture – your ideas, structure, and purpose. I can help you refine your focus, identify what belongs in your work, and ensure your writing communicates effectively to your intended audience.
STEP 2
Structural Editing
Once the content is written, structural editing ensures your content flows logically and readers encounter information at the right time. I can restructure chapters, reports, or journal articles to improve clarity and consistency, making your work engaging and easy to follow.
STEP 3
Copy-editing
Copy-editing focuses on grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, and word choice. Whether you are preparing maths or science textbooks, digital learning resources, practice exams, technical documents such as SOPs, or creative projects like board games, I edit for accuracy, clarity, and professionalism – helping your writing shine without losing your voice.
STEP 4
Proofreading
Proofreading is the final stage before completion and submission. Here, I carefully check spelling, punctuation, layout, and formatting. This service provides the last layer of polish to ensure your written work is error-free and ready for submission or publication.
