Dermott Barrett – Editor

I'm an experienced professional writer and editor, engaged in the publishing and business sectors. I work as a copy editor with publishing companies, self-publishers, business organisations and academics, producing books which range from works on academic and historic subjects to memoirs and biographies, along with various areas of business. I also specialise in Plain English services, to ensure that written communications are fully and easily understood by a particular target audience. I also provide services to clients in various areas of business as a copywriter and PR consultant.

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 and proofreader. I am always flexible and eager to please.
