Copy editing, line editing, proofreading, fact-checking & research

I'm a detail-oriented editor who will make your prose flow naturally and of course ensure that it’s grammatically correct and no punctuation mark goes awry. Whether you need someone to check for typos and make sure that every comma is in place, to refine the language so that it reads smoothly, or to radically rework what you’ve written, I’m here to make your life easier. I’m also a skillful researcher, with professional experience in corporate and academic research. I have an eye for making sure that all your details are correct and the ability to dive headfirst into researching complicated subject matter.

Testimonials from clients:

"I worked with Norah on an ongoing editing project. I want to share how fantastic she is. Norah's attention to detail is outstanding, dedication and interest in my project (which is not part of her general interests), and ability to suggest different directions is par excellence. I am very grateful to be work with her."

“Professional attitude, great completion time frame and quality work. I would recommend her services to others looking for a highly competent and able freelancer.”

Copy writing: blogs, newsletters, website content, articles, & so much more

You have the ideas and the passion. I can help you put your vision into words. I enjoy working closely with clients so that I can write in your voice and make your content sound like you, but clearer, smoother, and more to the point. I'm good at researching topics that I previously knew nothing about (like biotech medical breakthroughs or modular building construction), synthesizing that knowledge, and presenting it to the lay reader in a way they can understand. I dig deep into projects, looking for the "cool factor." I believe beauty is often found in the minute details.
