All about the written word

The written word is a powerful tool.
It can hold the key to your credibility, your powers of persuasion
and your ultimate success.
 I'm Melanie.
I'm a friendly writer and editor – a Professional Member of the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP) – with a keen eye for detail.
How can I help make your writing the best it can be?

I've a strong business background having worked in Marketing and Communications for over 20 years with some truly global brands
​ in the UK, France, Belgium, Germany and Luxembourg. ​

But ​I've an academic background, too, and specialise in the Humanities and Social Sciences,
particularly historical subjects, the arts, literature and languages.
Welcome to "Take it as read - making perfect sense"

“Take it as read” is my brand promise

Rest assured that your manuscript is safe with me.
Whether it's a business report, a book, an academic article or a thesis,
​I will do my best to help you write the perfect text to convince and persuade your audience.
