Elaine in a few words
Let's take your content to the next level.

I'm a freelance copyeditor and writer based in Durham with the intent to take your writing one step further. I help take care of content before publication, whether that be news items, marketing material, copy or social media.

Editing
I'll work on punctuation, spelling, grammar and sentence structure. References will be checked ensuring statistics and facts are valid and accurate.

Writing
As the storyteller for your business or brand, I'll produce content with the purpose of creating action.

With a full-time background in editorial, writing and marketing roles, you're in good hands.
