Writing helps to clarify and develop your thinking. Sharing your ideas and expertise builds your reputation and can attract new customers and opportunities. But it’s easier said than done.

It’s all too easy to put off writing an article, blog or newsletter. Other work feels more urgent, especially when there’s no one waiting for the words but you.

Working with an editor, in the role of accountability partner, can have a huge impact.

Starting something is often the hardest part – but sometimes finishing something can feel just as tricky. It’s tempting to keep tinkering with a piece of writing, to feel like it’s not (ever) quite ready to be shared.

Working with an editor gives you the confidence to publish pieces that are clear and error free. It also means that you’ll have a colleague, a partner who is as invested in your writing as you are.

Establishing a regular writing habit and workflow for publication takes your writing from aspiration to reality. The fact that someone else is expecting the work by an agreed date can make all the difference. We all know the power of a deadline!

The goal is to make your writing as clear as possible, not to iron out your voice. There are tools that can suggest the words that most people use, or nudge you toward a standard sentence structure. They can be useful. But that’s not what an editor does. An editor will work with you to make your writing the best it can be, without flattening your unique voice.

I work with clients on their regular newsletters, blog posts or articles. If you already have your workflow sorted we can jump straight into the editing. If you’d like a partner to help develop your aims, writing schedule and workflow we can do that first.

I'll correct errors and suggest changes that make your thoughts clearer. I might suggest you add some detail to make sure readers understand exactly what you mean, or that you consider deleting sections that aren’t necessary. I can prompt you to explore something deeper, or suggest some topics for your next posts.

Writing and regularly sharing with your audience can be really powerful – get in touch for a chat about how I can make the process easier and more impactful.
