Editor Writer Services

Words were my first love. I began my professional career as an advertising copywriter, then moved on to become a freelance editor and writer whenever time and opportunity allowed.

It is an honour to help clients shape their ideas and words into an alluring article, book or website and to provide assistance to anyone who struggles with the complexities of grammar or clear thinking and flow.

Memoir and Story Editing

An interesting project I worked on locally was the Australian memoir: Robbie Rundell's "Diving Into Life!". This six month long endeavour began as a handwritten pile of lively but unpolished stories and ended up as a fabulous self-published paperback - complete with celebrity recommendations on the cover! We also took this publication through to Kindle and I-book format.

Another project was the task of editing the second autobiographical book of best-selling West Australian author Carla van Raay ("God's Callgirl"). Her memoir, "The Price of Passion," was published by HarperCollins.

'Overcoming Life's Challenges' was an extraordinary memoir of survival and courage by a local West Australian author, Moya G Mulvay, which I edited.  Her book is now available on Amazon.

This kind of project is a highly enriching journey for both author and editor.

Website and Online Writing

I can check your website for typos and make sure that your website copy is gramatically correct, and clearly expresses what you wish to say.
Projects have included:
- editing an online weight loss course
- rewriting and optimising a contemporary jewellery designer's website
- creating websites for a new author, a mining company and a tree surgeon
- polishing an About Us page on a fabulous art-learning website.

Screenplays

During my long association with the late film director Paul Cox, I collaborated on several scripts. More recently I completed a first draft rewrite of a feature length drama set in Hawaii, 'Beyond Wailea', based on an original concept by an American attorney.
