Flexible editorial support for positive projects

Does your work have a positive impact on society or the environment? Do you ever find it a challenge to capture what you want to say in writing that’s professional, accessible and exciting?

I can support you to produce written resources that reach more people and deepen your influence, so you never miss a chance to make a difference.

Let me…

  • carry out research for you, complementing your expertise with mine
  • write for you, so you can concentrate on the rest of your to-do list
  • edit and proofread your own writing, so it's always fit for purpose and represents you at your best

 

My clients are professionals, authors and academics in the UK and around the world. They solve problems, share their creativity and advance knowledge across a wide range of fields.

I take a friendly and down-to-earth approach to my work. Whether you serve your local community or make a global difference, I'd be pleased to hear from you about your positive project.

I see Sally as an enabler of my work ... I know that irrespective of tight deadlines or other challenges, her work is always rigorous.

It’s a pleasure to work with someone who reaches out to understand your own work and wants to share that with others.

Thank you so much for your work on this - I can't believe how much we missed! You have made it so much clearer and more accurate.

Researcher, creative industries (writing on equality, diversity and inclusion)

Thank you for your very high standard of work, and for all the reports you have proofread so far. They are perfect. I wish everyone was as easy to deal with as you.

Please send my grateful regards to the engaged person who did this great job - all my thoughts are perfectly expressed in the text, and I am absolutely happy.

Thanks for this. This is one of the best pieces I've ever had ghost-written for me! You've nailed the style first time. You write informatively and convincingly. It's superb.

CEO, software development company

I cannot thank you enough for your help and support during the project. You definitely went 'above and beyond' what I expected.

All went well and I passed with minor revisions! The examiners did comment on the 'excellent proofreading', by the way - thank you!!

Your knowledge of the subject matter from an editor’s perspective was valuable in helping us to weed out industry jargon and make a complex subject accessible to the layperson.

I am very pleased with the corrections you've made, and with your very helpful comments and suggestions. You've done a really thorough job, and have highlighted things that I just hadn't seen in the manuscript.

Thank you as always for all your work and support. It's been a real pleasure as always, and every year I learn something new.

It was really helpful to get the summary you sent - it's excellent - helped me see a structure that I'd not previously recognised, and then to see what else I think is needed, and where.
