Heloise Murdoch – Editor

With a passion for language and a meticulous eye for detail, I will help your work be the best it can be.

Overview

I have a lifelong passion for language and will work with you to ensure your work is clear, accurate and consistent and that your words are polished until they shine. I have over a decade of experience in proofreading, copyediting and line editing. I also have a degree in English language and literature and over twenty years' experience and expertise in English language teaching, mediation, parliamentary reporting and the charity sector. My recent clients include Legend Press, Legend Business, Hero Press, New Generation Publishing and the University of Buckingham Press. As an English language teacher I can recognise the issues which face non-native English speakers and I have worked extensively with clients for whom English is a second language.
I offer a friendly, professional and bespoke service with the aim of making your words work for you, preserving your unique voice and conveying your message clearly to your target audience. I see my role as helping you to articulate your ideas as effectively as possible.
I am happy to have an initial chat to discuss your needs and what I can do for you. I can also provide a free sample edit of around 300 words.
