Emily M.

Writer, Ghostwriter, Editor, and Proofreader. Engaging Natural English

Content writer, editor, and proofreader specialising in clear, engaging, natural English across fiction, non-fiction, and translated texts. Native English speaker with a degree in English Language and Literature and TEFL-qualified, with six years of freelance experience writing and refining high-quality content. I have experience working across a wide range of genres, including children’s books, romance (including explicit content), and crime and thriller fiction, as well as non-fiction and general content writing. I offer both writing and editing services, including fiction writing (romance, thriller, and children’s), ghostwriting, rewriting and improving drafts, and story development. I also provide proofreading for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and consistency, as well as line editing for flow, clarity, tone, and readability. I specialise in refining translated or non-native English into natural, fluent writing and adapting tone for different audiences. As both a writer and editor, I focus on how text feels to the reader—not just correctness. I work to improve flow, voice, and engagement while preserving your original style. My TEFL background allows me to effectively shape translated or non-native English into smooth, natural language. I adapt my approach depending on the project, whether that’s clarity and rhythm for children’s books, voice and emotional impact for romance and fiction, tension and pacing for thrillers, or structure and readability for non-fiction. You can expect clear, thoughtful writing and edits, consistent tone and flow, reliable communication, and a professional, collaborative approach. I’m happy to provide a short sample so you can see how I would approach your project. Feel free to get in touch to discuss your manuscript or content. My rates typically range from $0.025 to $0.04 per word for editing and $0.04 to $0.08 per word for writing, depending on the scope and complexity of the project.
