About Me

Hi, I’m Louise, and I’m passionate about words of all shapes, sizes and languages! I’ve been an online content writer since graduating with an English Language and Linguistics degree 14 years ago.

I’m always reading, whether it’s the latest Strike novel or the back of a shampoo bottle, and forever have that urge to correct the writing wrongs I see out in the wild!

I truly believe I can write about anything and, over the years, have written a wide range of informative articles, creative blogs and training courses on all sorts of topics.

Attention to detail is important to me, and I love to get things right first time. So, if you think I can help you with proofreading, writing or editing - whatever the number of words - then don’t hesitate to get in touch today.

Testimonials

  • I wholeheartedly recommend anyone to use Louise for her writing and editing skills and, above all, for being so easy to communicate with and for meeting quick deadlines. Louise's eye for detail and organisational skills were essential given the compliance-heavy areas we work in. Furthermore her writing ability meant that learners felt our training was pitched at the right level to them, without it being seen as too academic or too patronising.
