I'm offering
I am a freelance writer and editor with a BA in English Literature from a top UK university.
I am experienced in writing blogs and articles for a variety of website types. I have written before about several diverse topics, from dog food to American holidays. I have written for student-oriented publications, including newsletters, online articles and pamphlets, covering topics such as sporting events and their results and academic groups advertising their meetings and services.
I am also a proficient editor. As a native English speaker, my grasp of English both written and spoken is perfect. I am confident editing both creative and non-fiction writing, as well as academic writing, writing for websites, businesses and other, more general pieces of writing that require editing. I can provide services ranging from simple feedback to in-depth grammatical and spelling corrections.

My experience
2019 - 2019
freelance
Editor
Little Monstrie Books.
The client had translated their text from Russian to Spanish to English and required a native English editor to correct the document to a professional level. This required close attention to detail as the translation was actually rather good - it was minor phrasings, grammar and punctuation errors that gave it away as not written by a native speaker. I highlighted the alterations I made and added notes to explain why. The client was extremely happy with the outcome of the edit, and proceeded to use the final text on their website.

Editor
Private Individual.
Client had written a short story for a children's book in English, though his native language was German. He required an editor and proof-reader to go through the text to localize the spellings and phrases, check the spelling, grammar and punctuation and to overall improve the readability of the text to make it more engaging for children.

Ghostwriter
GoGreen.
Client required a letter re-written to send to the CEO of a major company that distributed software and hardware for electronic devices. He had translated his letter from Arabic to English, but required a native English speaker to go through it and re-write the whole letter to be more professional, grammatically correct and engaging. To complete this task I re-formatted the letter to be of a professional standard, corrected the spelling and grammar, fact-checked the content of the letter and made several recommendations on how the client should present the letter to the intended reader.

Content Writer
PetBucket.
My client requested a 500-700 word blog on vegetarian and vegan diets for pets for the blog section of their successful pet supplies website.
I was required to do some research on the demographics of pet owners, animal nutrition and product availability. This research covered a broad variety of animals, their respective nutritional and dietary needs and their ability to adapt to alternative diets.
The project was assigned and completed within a week, and uploaded one week later in accordance with the website's upload schedule. The client was very happy with the work provided and they have gone on to commission more blogs from me on other pet-related topics.

Content Writer
PetBucket.
The client wanted a brief but detailed blog post in the form of a numbered list of potential dangers to pet health and safety during 4th of July celebrations. The post contained both a list of risks (e.g. foods to avoid, fireworks, etc.) as well as advice to pet owners, including advice for both cat and dog owners.
This project required research not only into pet welfare, but also into American Independence Day celebrations as I am not American. This research was conducted via internet search engines, tools that I have a good degree of precision when using.
The project was completed with a month to spare before its publication date, and was later published on the 4th of July. I received excellent feedback on the completed project and have gone on to work with the client on further projects.

Social Media Content Creator
FetSoc - University of Birmingham.
The client required a simple, informative double-sided leaflet produced on a Microsoft Publisher template for their university society. The content would be on consent and safety during adult activities, which required a lot of research into a community with which I was unfamiliar. Collaboration with the society's chairperson, treasurer and social media manager was essential in ensuring the content of the leaflet was correct, and that it would be suitable for members of the community of all ages, genders and sexualities. This project was completed within 7 days to an extremely satisfactory standard, and it is still in circulation today within the society.
