Flexible editorial support for positive projects

Does your work have a positive impact on society or the environment? Do you ever find it a challenge to capture what you want to say in writing that’s professional, accessible and exciting?

I can support you to produce written resources that reach more people and deepen your influence, so you never miss a chance to make a difference.

Let me…

carry out research for you, complementing your expertise with mine

edit and proofread your own writing, so it’s always fit for purpose and represents you at your best

My clients are professionals, authors and academics in the UK and around the world. They solve problems, share their creativity and advance knowledge across a wide range of fields.

I take a friendly and down-to-earth approach to my work. Whether you serve your local community or make a global difference, I’d be pleased to hear from you about your positive project.

I see Sally as an enabler of my work … I know that irrespective of tight deadlines or other challenges, her work is always rigorous.
