Embedded Files
As with most editors, my first experience of editing was rigorously picking apart my own writing in a desperate attempt to make it better.
Rapidly realising the comparative ease of giving advice rather than taking it, I soon turned my attention to editing works not my own, including:
academic essays
educational textbooks
university dissertations
fiction manuscripts
exam papers
video games
content writing
and magazine articles.
Educational textbooks
Insight Publications is an independent Australian publisher specialising in educational resources for English teachers and students.
I work with Insight to proofread textbooks, workbooks, and text guides for junior and senior secondary school students.
Exam papers
QCAA is the statutory body responsible for providing syllabuses, assessment, reporting, testing, and certification of schools in Queensland.
As part of QCAA's external assessment team, I edited and proofread exam papers for Year 12 students on a diverse range of subjects from Aerospace to Visual Arts.
Magazine articles
Broadsheet is an independent online media publication and culture guide covering Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and New Zealand.
I have subedited online articles and venue listings for Broadsheet on topics ranging from hospitality and entertainment to arts and culture.
Video games
Genius Inc. is a Japanese mobile game developer specialising in otome and bishoujo visual novels for mobile platforms.
During my time with Genius, I provided edits and rewrites of game scripts and marketing copy for over 20 mobile games released worldwide for iOS and Android.
Content writing
Ichigo Inc. is an online retailer that creates curated subscription boxes focusing on Japanese culture.
I assisted Ichigo Inc. with editing of online content, ensuring SEO keyword coverage, and formatting and preparing blogs for publication in Wordpress.
Academic essays
Scribbr is an editing and proofreading service that specialises in academic writing.
Working with Scribbr, I provided students with structural, clarity, formatting, and citation edits for academic essays, dissertations, and theses. Each edit was accompanied by detailed feedback explaining complex issues and outlining key areas for improvement.
