Write First Time Editing and Writing Services

I’m the owner of Write First Time, and I’ve provided editorial and writing services to corporations, small-to-medium sized companies, academics and individuals since 1991.

Now based in Sydney, and with extensive experience in advertising, marketing and journalism gained in both London and Toronto, as well as significant experience in the medical and legal sectors and the Australian educational sector, I offer full writing and editing services to writers, academics, business people, entrepreneurs and students – or indeed anyone looking to improve their written work for maximum clarity and effective connection with their target audiences.

I offer the following services:

• Structural editing
• Copy editing
• Proofreading
• Marketing copy
• Website copy
• Strategic and creative briefs
• Corporate communications
• Editing of doctoral theses
• Reviewing and editing reports
• Pre-submission document review for government and legislators

My clients have included tertiary and post-graduate students, tutors, language learners, emerging authors, professionals, VET sector and University faculty members, government departments and agencies, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), Not-for-Profit organisations, commercial enterprises of all sizes, teachers, start-ups, doctors, lawyers, PR firms, advertising agencies and marketing consultancies.

I am a Professional Member of the Institute of Professional Editors (IPEd) in Australia; Editors NSW; Editors Canada; and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.

I look forward to discussing your project with you!
