From newsroom deadlines to global freelancing gigs, I’ve spent 15+ years turning messy copy and ideas into clean, compelling communication. My career began in print journalism, but I quickly saw the growing need for sharp, digital-friendly writing and editing in the technical, defence, and education sectors. After building a strong writing and editorial foundation in newspaper and technical roles, I transitioned into freelancing full-time—serving clients around the world via platforms like freelancer.com. What sets me apart? An eye for clarity, a journalist’s ear for tone, and deep experience writing and editing everything from product copy to government reports. I work across almost any nonfiction genre or topic, offering services including: 👉 𝗘𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀: Proofreading, copy editing, full manuscript & website editing, and magazine subediting. 👉 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 & 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: User & maintenance manuals, staff manuals, ebook ghostwriting, technical specifications, processes & procedures, ISO documentation, fact sheets, training materials, and corporate publications. Whether you need crisp copy, meticulous editing, or clear technical documentation written, I bring two decades of expertise to every project. I would love to hear about what you are working on and explore how I can help bring your words or ideas to life. If your business deserves polished, professional writing—let’s connect.

Final book check $450 AUD

Kym is absolutely brilliant. A seasoned professional and an expert in her field. I cannot sing her praises enough. As a first time author, Kym guided me through the process, provided invaluable advice, and saved me thousands of dollars (if not tens of thousands) in premature printing costs, as she identified errors that other editors had overlooked. Her meticulous attention to detail and thoroughness are second to none. I highly recommend Kym for any editing work you require.

Absolutely loved working with Kym. She has completely transformed the learner guides—what was once dense and difficult is now clear, engaging, and easy to follow. Her ability to take complex content and make it accessible is outstanding. Top job, Kym. Your work has made a real difference.
