About me
Hello! I’m a writer with over 20 years of experience in corporate writing, proofreading and editing. I’m an award-winning blogger, freelance copywriter and content writer, and mother of two.
Services
Proofreading
Proofreading is the final step before you hit send or publish your work. I am the fresh set of eyes to pick up grammatical errors, formatting inconsistencies, and typos that are easy to miss when you’ve read over your work many times!
I proof your words accurately and efficiently, with fast turnaround and contextual proofreading. I offer discounts for non-profits and micro businesses, and I can proofread personal documents, like job applications, as well as corporate work.
Editing
Editing takes more time than proofreading. Editing improves readability and overall clarity, and always takes into account your branding, your voice, and your audience.
Editing is one step in the writing and publishing process, and proofreading may also be required after edits are revised and the final draft is approved. I will advise if only one of these steps is necessary, and I offer packages if you hire me for both.
Copywriting
Copywriting aims to build awareness and engage an audience to become a customer or make another purchase.
Copywriting is about connecting with and educating people, and it usually involves precise wording that’s creative and attention-grabbing. You’re reading some of my copywriting right now!
I work with you to achieve your specific goals for your website, advertising, social media presence, email newsletters, and product pages.
Content writing
Content writing is longer form text that aims to educate or inform others, or tell a story to entertain readers. It usually involves research and SEO practices to ensure the finished piece is found by the target audience.
I write detailed and well-researched content for blogs, websites, annual reports, award nominations, and interview write-ups.
I’m experienced with SEO techniques and keyword research, and I work with you to produce the best content for your audience.

Rebecca Story
It had been awhile since I applied for a job and I didn’t feel confident after writing my resume and cover letter. I just needed a second set of eyes to look over it and make sure I was putting my best foot forward with no pesky errors or questions left unanswered. Emma was great! It was a really quick turnaround for her to proofread my résumé and cover letter at a very reasonable price. She also gave me some feedback on how I could tweak it a bit. I felt much more confident submitting my job application and I even got an interview! “
Emma Liggins
I have engaged Emma on several copywriting and content production projects for community health, education and advocacy sector clients over the past 12 months. Emma is a great writer with good attention to detail and the ability to create content within a larger strategic framework. She has consistently understood my briefs with good, strong and on time copy – I highly recommend her.”
