Hi, I’m Rebecca, an experienced writer offering book editing, proofreading, copyediting, and translation (French to English) services. With my friendly, personal approach, we’ll work together to perfect your writing project.
I’m open, supportive and constructive in my approach, listening carefully to requirements and tailoring my services to meet the needs of my clients.
Book Editing
Whether you’re opting for the traditional publishing route or are an indie author, I offer supportive book editing services that can be tailored to suit your needs, from fiction editing and proofreading to memoir researching and writing.
I also provide reader reports and agent submission reviews, edit non-fiction books and articles, and offer a professional book coaching service.
Proofreading & Copyediting
It’s important that your writing is precise, well-written and engaging. My friendly proofreading & copyediting service includes shaping copy to improve the impact of your work: editing copy to ensure precision, flow and clarity, plus restructuring and rewriting where necessary.
I also offer a full proofreading service, correcting style, punctuation and grammar errors.
Translation French to English
I offer translation from French to English, specialising in literary projects, journalism, education and music. For a quick translation turnaround at an affordable price, I can provide a Machine Translation Post-editing (MTPR) service.

Prices vary according to:
