Dermott Barrett – Editor

I'm an experienced professional editor, writer and ghostwriter. I work as a freelance copy editor, structural editor and proofreader with publishing companies, self-publishers, business organisations, government agencies and academics, producing books which range from works on historic subjects to lifestyle, health, business, travel, memoirs and biographies.

I also specialise in Plain English services, to ensure that writing is fully and easily understood by a particular target audience.

I believe I am an easy person to work with, being always patient, friendly and courteous and willing to help in solving problems and in honouring deadlines. My aim is always to achieve the best possible results for my clients. While my main practice is in copy editing, I am also happy to work as a writer, re-writer, copywriter and proofreader. I am always flexible and eager to attain the highest possible standards.
