Kia ora! I'm an experienced copy editor, proofreader, and content writer with a sharp eye for detail and a knack for storytelling. As an American-born New Zealander, I have experience editing both UK and American English.
My editing qualification is the Whitireia Graduate Diploma in Publishing. This apprenticeship-based programme is considered the industry standard in Aotearoa New Zealand and beyond.
I love working with authors, publishers, and business owners to get projects into the best possible shape for publication, whether it's through traditional print publishing, self-publishing, or web-based media.
‘Sophie is a great editor, with a fantastic eye for errors and a great sense of how a text can be improved. She’s very thorough and shows great judgement when editing.’

Services
Copy editing: I comb through your manuscript at the sentence level to polish the language and style. I also weed out embarrassing consistency errors and suggest minor rewrites to improve clarity.
Proofreading: I provide the final quality control check for your novel or non-fiction project just before publication. This is especially important for indie authors self-publishing their work.
Developmental editing: I collaborate with you in the early stages of your project to guide its structure and cohesion, assist with rewrites, and provide ongoing support as you complete the manuscript.
Writing: I develop existing content or work with you to craft your message. I have experience ghostwriting blogs, creating engaging website content, and writing marketing copy for print books.
