About Marion

Featured

I am an experienced and versatile proofreader and editor offering high-quality editorial services for writers, businesses, charities, churches, students and private clients. I am customer-focused and particularly sensitive to the needs of clients who are dyslexic or have English as a second language. Whether your project is a single-page CV or a book of poems, I provide friendly, one-to-one support from beginning to end.

Freelance since 2011 and with in-house experience, over the years I have worked on a wide range of materials covering all kinds of subjects. I also have a particular interest in the subjects listed below. As a writer, I love working with other writers who are preparing their work for publication and want it to appear polished and professional.
