No frills writing and editing services

I am a no frills service provider working on assignment basis without the superfluous added weight of agency fees. I keep my pricing as affordable as possible. Variation applies based on urgency and required turnaround time. Unlike an agency I work as I please as I have come to stage where there is no urgency anymore to be a workaholic and lose a healthy balance between professional and private life. 

Better text content, one project at a time

The content writer/editor/proofreader complements the informative, communicative and engaging functions of business and non-business related interactions.

Even when it is delivered with utmost charm, professionalism and impact, it is the facts, expressed through content that lends weight to whatever that is conveyed.

The exhaustive proof of it all is in the text, overtly expressed and/or those with terms and conditions that apply in given circumstances in the fine print to back it up.

Even though you already are impressive, let our composed text and your intentions look even better.
It's refreshing to have someone from the outside to provide feedback and input rather than just the people within the same organisation.

Ideally, something totally new, wherever applicable and possible. Perhaps a twist to something established. At times, we seek the sweet spot, somewhere among facts, emotions, real life, fantasy and banality, we strive to strike a balance and generate something in place of or as complement to what’s already out there, to add value to what you have in mind.

I cannot guarantee overnight success, incremental sales, sudden spikes in demand.

However, I can assure you that I will do what’s possible within realistic expectations, governed by logic and a dash of creativity, within my power to create a better outcome than what was before.  

So let’s work on your text content!  :-)

...................................................................................................................

NOTE:

I DON'T ghost write content from scratch for tertiary standard theses or academic papers on behalf of anyone. I only am able to edit and make suggestions on changes to the original content for mistakes in syntax, grammar and spelling.

I DO NOT perform translations solely. What I do is sometimes access content in another language as a cross reference and express them in English as best as I can.

I am not a conventional copywriter by profession. Copywriting involves words for advertisements. However I've performed copywriting work before involving witty word play and creative content in the context of my client's services. In that aspect I'm able to take on a copywriter on a good day!

I DON'T claim to possess the answer for every content writing need yet I will try to understand before responding.

.................................................................................
What I can do:

Effective communication of intent / substance in the best possible style.

Accurate portrayal of product/services. Clients are advised to avoid hyperbole and unsubstantiated claims.

Seamless assimilation and portrayal of creative elements where/when applicable for enhancement of content in terms of accuracy, tone, aptness and clarity.

.................................................................................................

In return:

I ask for a measure of structure and freedom from clients.

I expect timely feedback and prompt payment.

I have the privilege of refusing a client for any reason.  I reserve the right to disclose or not disclose such reasons fully or in part.

Writer and Editor with works available in university hosted digital libraries

Freelance Writer and Editor honoured with mention and hosting of works at online resources and digital libraries of Universities in North America,Europe and Asia Pacific.

My association with the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign began with  the vetting, examination and acceptance of my literary compositions based on quality, merit and originality by two founding academics responsible for the management of the Project Gutenberg - global archive. One was Founding Professor, the late Michael Stern Hart and his associate Dr. Gregory Newby.  My works were compared to the writers  who had produced works of exceptional quality and merit, released prior to 1923. In other words I was rated in relation to the authors of classics in Western literature. Project Gutenberg as a rule only accepts works prior to 1923 but in my case they made an exception based on quality, merit and originality.

I have the honour of 5 works listed and hosted by the University of Illinois based academics back in 2002. These works have been available online ever since.

The titles are:

• Naturae
• Rhyme and Reason
• Rhyme and Reason Volume Two
• Praetor's Lunch
• PoPHILO

Besides the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign(USA) hosting my works, they are also available in mirror sites in North America, Asia and Europe.

These include online resources/digital libraries at:

The University of Florida(USA)
Michigan State University(USA)
Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana(USA)
Dalhousie University(Canada)
The University of Waterloo(Canada)
Universidade do Minho(Portugal)
University of Rome(Italy)
University of Adelaide(Australia)

In addition my works are available to staff and students of UNISA(University of South Australia) and Swedish Education Network(SUNET)

I've also had my English poetry accepted and featured at BBC official sites. In my case the BBC Shropshire edition pages whereby contributors consisted of mainly native speakers and a sprinkling of foreigners.

So that allays any concerns that you have over my familiarity with the language.
It's been a long term relationship and it's going to be for the long haul!

I still keep up with language trends and evolving conventions. There are things that I agree with and things I don't. That's very much the same as anyone with opinions based on fact and a dash of personal taste.
