FOR BUSINESSES AND ORGANSATIONS.

I am a professional, experienced editorial consultant who helps New Zealand businesses and organisations create better writing. I specialise in corporate documents such as reports, plans, policies, guidelines, strategies, proposals, applications, websites, and training materials.

In the past year I have worked with clients in the energy, education, sustainability, startup, health and aged care, digital technology, research, arts, and local government sectors.

I am available for work in the following areas:

  • Proofreading

  • Editing/copyediting

  • Plain language editing

  • Style guide development

  • Localisation to New Zealand

If you need help with your writing, get in touch for a no-obligation kōrero.

Kia ora, I’m Anne-Marie.

I am a former newspaper journalist turned freelance editor and proofreader. I have six years’ experience working with New Zealand businesses and organisations. I love supporting my clients to help them meet their goals.

I thrive on deadlines and can often turn projects around at short notice. I am available for one-off projects and long-term collaborations.

I have a postgraduate diploma in journalism from Massey University, and a diploma in proofreading and editing from the New Zealand Institute of Business Studies. I am a professional member of the Institute of Professional Editors and a member of the Plain Language Association International.

What others are saying.

  • "We contracted Anne-Marie to proofread a large council document. Because this document would be viewed by the public, it was even more important than usual that there were no mistakes. Anne-Marie was able to fit our project in despite the short turnaround time. She proofread to a high standard and made sure everything was consistent. We found her to be responsive and an excellent communicator, keeping us informed of progress. She also submitted the project ahead of the deadline. We would highly recommend Anne-Marie to anyone looking for a proofreader."
