A flexible service for all your wordy problems.

Hire me for a day, half a day or by the hour. Think of me as an extension of your team. Here's what I offer ...

Copyediting

Have multiple stakeholders turned your crystal clear prose into muddled messaging? (I hear ya.) Is your tone of voice buried under the weight of words that have got a bit, well, waffly?

If you've got some words, but they're not hitting the spot, this service is for you.

Yes please! Take me to copyediting.

Proofreading

You're almost ready to send your communication out into the world, but the final, final version needs a final check. (I feel your pain.)

Allow me to smooth out any imperfections and liberate you from the voice of doubt.

Sounds good. Take me to proofreading.

Here are some nice things clients have said about me.

"We recently worked with Lynsey to produce a combined report covering two aspects of a survey we conducted on diagnosing dementia. Lynsey was easy to work with and took a pragmatic and flexible approach to accommodate our tight deadline. Her style was collaborative, and Lynsey sought feedback on early drafts to ensure the report was on track, incorporating feedback from colleagues involved.

Lynsey cared about the subject matter and understood the importance of bringing the lived experience of those who had contributed to the survey to the forefront. The finished result was exactly what we hoped for, engaging and accessible. I hope to work with Lynsey again on future projects."
