Hi there! I'm Jo, a native English-language proofreader and copyeditor with a passion for producing clear and accurate written material. I've been self-employed and freelancing since 2017. I've worked on some exciting projects in recent years, including writing, editing and translating business, marketing and financial texts for various Swedish companies, editing a number of books (mainly non-fiction) and writing and editing one-minute executive summaries of business articles. I'm proud to be a professional member of the UK Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP). I have also studied a number of other languages, which means I'm well-placed to work on material produced by or targeted at non-native English speakers. Before becoming a freelancer, I worked as a diplomat for the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office. During my time there, I researched, drafted and edited briefing documents on a wide range of subjects for various government ministers and departments. My role included promoting British interests abroad and building cultural, political, linguistic and subject matter expertise. Currently, I am also working part-time as a project manager for Fluid Translation, where I assist in the daily management of translation, editing and writing projects. My responsibilities include recruiting new suppliers such as translators and maintaining client and supplier relationships.Do you need a professional, clear text that gets your message across?
