About Heloise
Featured
I have a lifelong passion for language and will work with you to ensure your work is clear, accurate and consistent and that your words are polished until they shine. I have over a decade of experience in proofreading, copyediting and line editing. I also have a degree in English language and literature and over twenty years' experience and expertise in English language teaching, mediation, parliamentary reporting and the charity sector. My recent clients include Legend Press, Legend Business, Hero Press, New Generation Publishing, Serendipity and the University of Buckingham Press. As an English language teacher I can recognise the issues which face non-native English speakers and I have worked extensively with clients for whom English is a second language.
I offer a friendly, professional and bespoke service with the aim of making your words work for you, preserving your unique voice and conveying your message clearly to your target audience. I see my role as helping you to articulate your ideas as effectively as possible.
I am happy to have an initial chat to discuss your needs and what I can do for you. I can also provide a free sample edit of around 300 words.

testimonials
Heloise has completed a wide range of editorial tasks for our publishing imprints, covering both proofreading and copy-editing for fiction, non-fiction, biography, art and business texts. The work has always been completed on time with a very close eye for detail. Our authors have been very grateful for the checking and improvements to their texts and we would highly recommend Heloise for any editorial work.
Tom Chalmers, Managing Director, Legend Times Group
When I launched my new website, I wanted everything to be perfect including the spelling, grammar, and punctuation. I needed to know it was right. Heloise did a fantastic job, I could not believe how many errors she found, and she made great suggestions to improve the tone of my messaging, which I was not expecting. If you want the job done right, and to the highest standard, use Heloise, she is excellent.
