Featured
I have a special interest in English literature, English as a second or additional language, and business. Extensive experience in: editing and rewriting English as a second or additional language; editing academic books, PhD dissertations and business documents; creating and editing ELT/ESL/EAP and educational materials; writing and editing web content.
I teach English via Zoom and often combine lessons with editorial work on CVs, LinkedIn profiles, presentations etc. I also work as an assistant moderator and materials writer for Cambridge International English.
I enjoy working closely with clients and using my teaching and writing skills to enhance the written expression of others.
Testimonials
Lucy has always been reliable, professional, knowledgeable and a general pleasure to work with. I greatly appreciate her rigour and experience of editorial work.
Felix Barnes, Pearson
Lucy edited English language practice exercises for our e-Learning portal. She was highly capable and able to adapt to the required writing style very quickly. We were very grateful for her flexibility and, despite some very tight deadlines, her attention to detail was always second to none. I would be confident recommending Lucy for any editing/writing work, especially in the education/EFL sector.
Jemima Adcock, Dept for Education
Lucy is an excellent editor. I have been dealing with Lucy since I was a Ph.D. student in 2014 . Lucy edited my entire thesis, and she is still my go-to editor for all of my research papers now that I am an Assistant Professor at the university. She is precise, prompt to respond, and has a solid grasp of any material she edits. I highly recommend her.
