Got Editing?

Looking for an editor? Someone to polish your cherished manuscript? How about a second set of eyes to make sure that term paper of thesis is as good as it can be?

I look back on the days when I thought my first draft or final work (only read by me) was in tip-top shape...and I cringe. We all need someone else to give our work a fresh perspective, to catch the errors our eyes tend to gloss over.

My friend and fellow writer, Nick Wilford, is embarking on a new business venture. He started a freelance editorial business. And you, my friend, can take advantage of his experience and talent.



With the unstoppable rise of self-publishing, it’s easier than ever to put your words and stories out there in the world. This is a great thing, and I’m all for it. However, it’s not just about the story - although of course, that is the most important part - but the way it’s presented. After spending months or years on a novel, building an incredible world and honing your characters and storylines to perfection, the last thing you want is to be let down by a lack of editing. It’s just as important as an arresting cover image.

Nick Wilford, Freelance Editor is a one-stop shop for affordable editing, proofreading and formatting services. With professional training and ten years of experience as a journalist and editor, the time has come to transfer these skills in order to help out the fellow authors I have come to love.

But it doesn’t stop there. I’m ready to edit anything; from a crucial term paper, to memoirs and other non-fiction books, short stories, articles or job application letters. Let me put that finishing touch on your masterpiece.

Feel free to take a look at my website for further details of my services and prices.
