The Benefits of Professional Writing, Proofreading and Editing.

Edinburgh Editing specialises in offering a personalised editing service, tailored to your unique needs.

Typographical errors, bad editing, common grammatical mistakes and poorly written copy can spoil your professional image and lead to low marks in reports or in your academic papers or dissertation.

I am an excellent communicator with a master's degree in English, training in journalism and a proven track record in producing clear, concise copy. I have had several years of experience dealing with various types of documentation and have worked on a wide variety of projects.
