I am a certified proofreader and copy editor based in Switzerland. I work mainly with small companies and marketing agencies, and specialise in editing content written by speakers of English as a second language. I can help you to make the most of your written content by making sure it speaks clearly and effectively to your audience.
I grew up and was educated to master’s level in London, and have worked in the UK, Europe and the Middle East. I have a Diploma in Proofreading and Editing from the College of Media and Publishing and am continuing my professional development with the Society for Editors and Proofreaders (SfEP).
I have copy edited web content, brochures and technical manuals, worked as a developmental editor for strategy documents, and turned hundreds of technical specifications into effective advertising campaigns. I have been the de facto proofreader in every team I’ve ever worked in.
Having lived and worked outside of the UK for many years, I am experienced in editing text written by speakers of English as a second language (ESL) and in editing for an international audience.
As a freelance proofreader and editor, my job is to make sure your copy speaks to your readers, uses clear and simple English and reads fluently. I will work with you to understand your voice and your purpose - this will guide everything I do.
Do you need a proofreader? Or an editor? What is the difference?

“I could not recommend Rebecca’s services enough. She was very approachable, professional and efficient. I would not hesitate to use her again. She went above and beyond my expectations and I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Rebecca worked closely with me to rebrand the company in 2013. She reviewed and edited all of our English-language communications, including our company profile and new-starter pack. As a native English speaker with good written communication skills, Rebecca was an asset to our company. I would not hesitate to recommend her. ”
“I was Rebecca’s proofreading and editing tutor at the College of Media and Publishing and from the start I could see she was destined for a distinction. She works quickly yet accurately and is a real professional. I highly recommend her services.”
