Professional editing services


I am an accredited editor, a professional member of the Society of Editors NSW, a member of the SfEP (UK) and a trained academic editor. I am committed to high standards and will help you present your communications in language that is clear, well expressed and consistent, while respecting and retaining your individual voice.
  
I professionally edit all types of non-fiction, including books (scholarly, general non-fiction and memoir), book chapters, academic theses, dissertations, journal articles, conference papers and proceedings, annual reports, website text, training manuals, policy documents, submissions, government reports, business documents and reports, blogs and more.

My editing services include:
  • copyediting--editing your document for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and consistency in style and formatting
  • substantive editing--looking at your document or publication as a whole and ensuring that the focus, structure, language, style and format suit its purpose and readership
  • proofreading--preparing the final copy to a standard of quality suitable for the publication.

Whether you are an author, academic, a student seeking high-quality affordable thesis editing, a non-government organisation, small business owner, major corporation or government agency, your printed and electronic communications can define your reputation. Errors in spelling, punctuation, grammar and word usage can seriously undermine your credibility. If you are producing printed material or an electronic publication, I can add value by picking up problems before they cost you valuable time, reputation and money.

Online editing

You may be wondering about the difference between having your document edited by Wendy Monaghan Editing Services and having it edited by one of the many online editing services. Most online editing services make use of freelance editors who work remotely from various locations, often overseas. It is unlikely you will be given the opportunity to communicate with the editor working on your document; instead, you will be expected to deal with the office staff.
  
However, if you choose Wendy Monaghan Editing Services, you will communicate directly with me, your editor, by email and/or by phone, whichever you prefer. I will ensure you receive personalised service and advice.
Wendy has an excellent command of language, outstanding critical thinking skills and an innate sense of good style. Her attention to detail is remarkable. Her approach is always professional, flexible and accommodating.
