Copyediting and proofreading by a human.

Hi, I'm Lynsey, a copy editor and proofreader with over twenty years of experience in corporate communications.

I work with businesses, charities, educational institutions, and other organisations to refine reports, publications, websites, marketing materials, and stakeholder communications.

As your editorial ally, I look for the issues that can undermine effective communication, from inconsistencies and factual inaccuracies to unclear messaging, structural weaknesses, and opportunities to improve readability and inclusive language.

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."
