Nick Hembery – Editor

No-nonsense, consistent and reliable proofreader. I help people improve their art.

Overview

I discovered editing and proofing through developing my own skills as a writer, and found I have both a talent and passion for correctness, clarity and readability in writing.
Since finding this calling I have worked on a few books, one of which won a British fantasy society award, and several corporate whitepapers.
I can edit and proofread in both UK and US English, on screen or hard copy.
My motto in all this is: I help people improve their art. So let me help you make your writing better.

The Marketing Practice

Aug, 2018 — Present

The Marketing Practice produces a host of marketing materials for tech firms including emails, mail shots, websites, infographics, whitepapers, booklets and presentations. And I proofread all of it. I enforce correctness of language, clarity of message and quality of craft. I work with the writers to create the best content possible while pushing them to improve their skills.

As an editor and proofreader I collaborate with authors to improve the quality of their work prior to publishing. To date mostly with Kate Coe, author of Green Sky and Sparks.

Self-employed

I do Structural Editing, Copy Editing and Proofreading. My top priority is the quality of your work. My rates are based on the length of the piece, not the time spent on it.
