Types of documents I have edited

Tender submission documents for contracts with values ranging from $1 million to over $1 billion. I have helped companies put their best foot forward by providing structural editing and proofreading to deliver compelling proposals that win work.

Contract deliverable documents for high-value government contracts. During the project phase, I have helped companies meet contractual requirements to deliver quality documents that gets approved the first time, and thus avoiding costly rework and reputational damage.

Technical operating/maintenance manuals for the use and maintenance of software and hardware systems. With the safety of the end user in mind, I provided plain English editing so instructions are clear and concise.

Policy and standard operating procedure documents that are used by staff and stakeholders to comply with WHS, Privacy, Security etc. requirements.

Legal publications to provide step-by-step guidance to practising solicitors, barristers and legal professionals. I evaluated and analysed legal content and translated it into best practice guides.

Ways we can work together

One off project - This is suitable for projects with a defined scope eg. editing an X number of documents. We work together to agree on project deliverables and timelines, with payment at the completion of each milestone.

Ongoing retainer - This is suitable for ongoing and on demand editorial support. It is like having an in-house editor, except you don't pay for any down time. Buy a block of time (say, 20 hours) and send through documents for editing as needed, and I will only bill for the time used.
