Proofreading and editing

Contact: [email protected]

I'm a freelance proofreader and copyeditor with almost a decade's experience working with publishers, authors, academics and organisations to produce clear, accurate and polished writing while preserving the author's voice.

I've worked on Sunday Times bestsellers, award-winning books, academic publications, reports and essays across subjects including nature, conservation, psychology, philosophy, history, memoir, music and the arts.

My approach is thorough and collaborative: I aim to strengthen the writing while respecting the author's style and intentions.

Previous clients have said:

"Jo is a fantastic proofreader: diligent and quick, alive to the feel of a sentence, and capable of spotting mistakes I hadn't noticed after multiple read-throughs. I have no hesitation in recommending her services."

"I'm extremely grateful for Jo's proofreading support on my paper. Everything was completed to a very high standard within a tight timeframe, which made a huge difference at a stressful stage of the process. I would highly recommend Jo."
